As part of a health education scheme for the schools on "Drugs and Health", a questionnaire was distributed to a number of pupils in order to ascertain the domestic presence, use, conservation, and disposal of drugs. The questionnaire proved a very effective system for the extension of the educational project to the families of the pupils, but the information thus gathered was only of limited value. On the average, in the family 12.8 different type of drugs were present, mainly ethical drugs (76.6%). Most drugs were Articulars, Analgesics-antipyretics and Bronchopulmonary drugs. Only 30.2% of the drugs kept at home were currently used. Self-treatment (14.9%) and self-prescription (8.1%) were noted, as well as improper use of the drugs (5.9%). No answer to the questionnaire mentioned the presence of expired drugs: probably they were disposed of during the survey at home. Although these facts showed the positive effects of the educational project, nonetheless it was not possible to establish the real number of drugs kept at home. The way the answers to the questionnaire were biased and the fact that it was meant to be part of the project, have reduced the objectivity of the information thus obtained, underlining, however, its educational value.
作为学校“毒品与健康”健康教育计划的一部分，向一些学生发放了问卷，以确定家庭中药物的存在、使用、保存和处理情况。问卷被证明是将教育项目扩展到学生家庭的非常有效的系统，但由此收集到的信息价值有限。平均而言，家庭中存在12.8种不同类型的药物，主要是处方药（76.6%）。大多数药物是关节药、解热镇痛药和支气管肺药。家中保存的药物目前只有30.2%被使用。记录了自我治疗（14.9%）和自我开处方（8.1%）以及药物的不当使用（5.9%）。问卷的回答中没有提到过期药物的存在：可能它们在调查期间在家中就被处理掉了。尽管这些事实显示了教育项目的积极效果，但仍无法确定家中保存的药物的实际数量。问卷答案存在偏差的方式以及它本应是项目一部分这一事实，降低了所获信息的客观性，不过也凸显了其教育价值。
