Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the current project, we firstly developed and evaluated internet-based and workshop-based educational systems for patients/consumers to share knowledge on the proper use of “drugs and dietary supplements”. The two systems are also useful for efficiently collecting information related to use of drugs and dietary supplements from patients/consumers for post-marketing drug development. Thus, these systems are expected to be beneficial to both patients/consumers and manufacturers of drugs and dietary supplements.
