Dear E-med community,
Pictograms are a useful tool to communicate health information to people with language barriers or limited health literacy levels. To address this worldwide problem, the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) in collaboration with the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, has developed a series of pictograms that describe common side effects to medications.
In order to understand which pictogram is best understood in different areas of the world, we invite you to participate in this short survey (10-15 minutes). This survey is important to improve medication safety around the world. This survey was developed in several different languages for your convenience.
We invite you to participate in this survey now, by clicking on one of the links below:
