This article describes a pilot study to test the adequacy of a newly developed tool for an awareness plan on the importance of properly using pharmaceuticals. The new tool consists of face-to-face interviews with adult citizens on their approach to the use of medicines and of the following data analysis with a dedicated software application. The pilot study was carried out in a sample area of Sardinia, in Italy. The data from the interviews collected anonymously and analysed in aggregate actually emphasised the critical issues and needs in the use of pharmaceuticals in the sample area involved, also encouraging communication among different actors. The pilot study revealed that the designed tool could represent a novel strategy to stimulate interchanges of information on the proper use of pharmaceuticals with a potential impact on people's health.
本文介绍了一项试点研究，以测试一种新开发的工具是否适用于一项关于正确使用药品重要性的宣传计划。新工具包括与成年公民就其用药方式进行面对面访谈，以及随后使用专用软件应用程序进行数据分析。该试点研究在意大利撒丁岛的一个样本区域进行。访谈收集的数据以匿名方式汇总分析，实际上突出了所涉样本区域在药品使用方面的关键问题和需求，也促进了不同行为者之间的沟通。试点研究表明，所设计的工具可能代表一种新颖的策略，以促进关于正确使用药品的信息交流，对人们的健康产生潜在影响。
