Over 56% (256/517) of respondents knew that self-medication was dangerous. Self-medication was associated with Age≥50 years, compared to 20-29 years [APR: 1.1, 95% CI:1.1, 1.2], being a minor [APR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.3, 2.1], having severe symptoms [APR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2, 2.0], having access to internet [APR: 1.1, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.2], family/friends influence [APR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.4], and anxiety/fear of being quarantined [APR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.6]. Having medical insurance [APR: 0.6, 95% CI: 0.5, 0.9] and awareness about laws against self-medication [APR: 0.9, 95% CI: 0.8, 1.0] were associated with a lower risk of self-medication.</p>
