sonal responsibility on health was relatively new in Serbia and
SEE country. A different media and information resources could
be very useful as a tools in promotion of health, drug and self-
medication (HDSM). The goals of this investigation were the
utility of media as information sources in comparission with
health profesionals infoservices items on promotion of HDSM
in Serbia population. METHODS: The questionaire with 11
questions was spreaded through public pharmacy in tree
provinces of Serbia (Vr ac, Belgrade, Kragujevac). The questions
included observation of citizen regard: type of media channel;
trust on media health information; process of checking infor-
mation; satisfaction with information; useable of OTC drug
news ect. The survey included the 300 people, respectively.
RESULTS: General analyses of all answers from the tree Serbian
provinces showed simillarity.The public trust on media (main
media TV,... afterthat newspapers) health informations is 66%,
and satisfaction 61% . The media channels were explored 71%
of his possibility to promote HDSM. In process of selfmedica-
tion the valuability and utility of drug product information from
media have been several time used (43%), useless (57%) in per-
sonal health treatment. Only 12% of population used the intenet
as a source of HDSM. The main source of informations were
health professionals (phisicians and pharmacist) and 83% of
Serbian citizens before the selfmedication have had consultation
with them. CONCLUSIONS: Utility of different media (partic-
ulary TV) on promotion of HDSM in Serbia was well, but
no doubtless on health profesionals consultation before the
selfmedication.
