Brief summary
Women's awareness about the danger of certain medicines taken during pregnancy presents a real public health issue. To enhance awareness and information for women and healthcare professionals, new pictograms pregnant women appeared on medication boxes, on October 16, 2017. These new pictograms can change women's perception of self-medication during pregnancy and of the danger of taking certain medicines for the unborn development. Furthermore, the investigators can wonder if the meaning of these pictograms is well understood. Therefore, the study's primary aim is to assess the knowledge of pregnant or childbearing age women about the pictograms associated with the danger of certain medicines taken during pregnancy.
