Article Abstract:

The decision making process of German and American students with regards to buying and using over-the-counter pain relievers (OTCPR) is analyzed. It was observed that more Americans take OTCPRs than Germans, and that they demonstrated less knowledge when it comes to side effects. The role of environmental factors in the differences among the students is examined.
