Investigates adolescents' awareness of side effects of over-the-counter medications portrayed in digital media, suggesting a disconnect that may contribute to misuse.
Topic: Clinically Tested Products Objectives: To investigate the lack of awareness from adolescence regarding common side effects of clinically tested products such as over the counter medications represented in digital media formats providing relevant components. Background: Medical products such as over the counter medicine, therapeutics, and vaccines have the intent of being used to improve health as well as wellness patterns within individuals. Despite this, the media portrays the realities of later staged outcomes in which adolescents consume medical products without specified prescription from a healthcare provider. Adolescents have been increasingly prescribed medication in the past fifteen years for disorder treatment. Further, research that is focused on the relationship between media’s portrayal with careless intake of medical products regarding adolescents need to be conducted on its accuracy. Methods: To analyze the provided abstract, multiple scholarly works need to be examined for their purpose of showcasing data relating to adolescents' intake with medical products despite knowledge regarding its common side effects. Specified artifacts components in relation to this matter, which discuss over the counter medication, are being accounted for precision. These works will be implemented in this digital research study to further address the degree of clinically tested products being overly misused continuously by adolescents due to insufficient awareness. Results: Five articles evaluating adolescents' use of non-prescribed medical treatments were analyzed, with two works showcasing a thorough synopsis reporting key findings that coincide with highlighting misuse based on given case studies. The outlying articles discuss frequent outcomes that involve undergoing clinical programs, associating medicines to problem-solve, and referencing further use. A full consensus was reached after reviewing; all of the five articles had at least one reference (M=3, SD = 1.41) that showed how medicine was depicted by adolescents. Conclusions: Professionals in the scientific field could expand the research study on how partaking in medical treatments is depicted with regards to adolescents' incoherence of its knowledge and misuse by keeping public sectors updated on the issue. In addition, they could bring more elaborations in papers aligning with consequential patterns rooted in substance abuse.
