Factors Influencing the Use and Demand of New Coronavirus Therapy Drugs Among the Adults During COVID-19 in China
Research has revealed that a significant proportion of infected people in China chose drug treatment during COVID-19. Individuals with severe symptoms use more medication and require more drug delivery and storage. Low-education and low-income populations are lacking in drug knowledge, and older adults with underlying medical conditions are more likely to need drug delivery services. Therefore, governments should prioritize vulnerable groups when formulating drug policies and target drug literacy and guidance. In addition, it is recommended that a drug distribution system be set up within the community so that those in need can have quick and easy access to drugs.
