For your better experience at Pharmacy

In this questionnaire survey, we would like to find out the experiences of foreigners working in Japan and their family members who visited clinics and purchased medicines at healthcare insurance pharmacies upon prescription and how they use the medicines. It takes about 8 minutes to fill out a questionnaire.

*Health insurance pharmacies are pharmacies that issue medicines based on prescriptions written by doctors. It does not mean a pharmacy where you can buy medicines that do not require a prescription.

In this questionnaire, 400 foreigners living in Japan will be asked to participate. When you need medical treatment with medicines, we would like to clarify whether we are providing you the information you need to take the medicines appropriately, and if not, why. Please fill out the questionnaire to help us create a society in which foreigners can use pharmacies more easily and live healthy and safely like Japanese people do.
 
Conditions for participating in this survey
1. Those who live in Japan and have their own Japanese health insurance card
2. Age 20 and over
3. Have experiences to visit hospital or clinic in Japan and have experiences to purchase medicines based on a doctor's prescription at a health insurance pharmacy

As a thank you for your cooperation in this survey, we will give you a "My Medication Record Book Multilingual Version" by free of charge. A medication record book is a notebook in which you keep a record of when, where, and what kind of medication you were prescribed. When you visit multiple medical institutions, or when you move your location, physicians and pharmacists can find out about your medications just by showing your medication record book. Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino and English versions are available.
