This study aimed to investigate the current status and correlations of knowledge, attitude and behavior regarding correct medication usage of junior high students in Taipei City. Participants were seventh and eighth graders in the second semester of 2011. Self-administered structured questionnaires were used with stratified cluster sampling, and 208 returned copies were valid. The questionnaire was divided into four parts, including: background variables, knowledge, attitude and behavior regarding correct medication use. The results of this study are summarized as follows:1. Current status of participants' knowledge, attitude and behavior regarding correct medication usage: In terms of knowledge regarding correct medication usage, students' replies had an accuracy rate of 72.8%; replies of attitude regarding correct medication use were chiefly ”positive”, and replies of health behavior regarding correct medication use were chiefly ”often”.2. Correlations between background variables and knowledge, attitude, behavior regarding correct medication usage: After analyzing the results, significances were found between ”grade”, ”academic performance” and ”knowledge regarding correct medication use”; significances were also found between ”paternal parenting style”, ”campaigns for correct medication use” and ”attitude regarding correct medication use”. There were also significances between ”family medication use behavior”, ”curricula for correct medication usage”, ”participation in campaigns for correct medication use” and ”behavior regarding correct medication usage”.3. A positive correlation was found between ”attitude regarding correct medication use” and ”behavior regarding correct medication usage” (r = 0.63).4. The participants' ”background variables”, ”knowledge regarding correct medication usage” and ”attitude regarding correct medication usage” could significantly predict ”behavior regarding correct medication usage”, with explained variances of 52.7%. ”Academic performance”, ”family medication usage behavior”, ”family experiences of getting medicines from non-medical or non-pharmaceutical access”, ”participation in curricula for correct medication usage”, and ”attitude regarding correct medication use” could shed light on the behavior regarding correct medication usage.It is recommended that health education should include correct medication usage in their curriculum guidelines, and cooperate with medical and community resources to teach students and parents to enhance their knowledge and attitudes on correct medication usage.
