A. Reception

As you know, HCHS/SOL is recording all prescription and over-the-counter medications used by participants in the past four weeks, including cold and allergy medications, vitamins, herbal remedies, and other supplements. These medications include solid and non-solid formulations that you may swallow, inhale, apply to the skin or hair, inject, implant, or place in the ears, eyes, nose, mouth, or any other part of the body. The letter you received about this appointment included a plastic bag for all your current medications and asked you to bring them to the clinic.

Yes, all of them 1  GO TO SECTION B, QUESTION 5

No, some of them 2  GO TO SECTION A, QUESTION 3

No, none of them 3

2. Is this because you forgot, because you have not taken any medications at all in the last four weeks, or because you could not bring your medications?

Took no medication 1  GO TO SECTION C, QUESTION 34
