Help Us Understand Real-Life Antibiotic Use in North Carolina Have you ever used antibiotics meant for aquarium fish-like Fish Mox, Fish Doxy, Fish Aid, Fish Pen, MetroPlex, or others-to treat yourself or someone you care about? If so, you're not alone-and your experience could help us learn more about why people turn to these options and how we can work toward fairer, safer access to the medicines people need. We're a research team from the Departments of Anthropology, Chemistry, and the School of Medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill. We're studying how and why people in North Carolina sometimes self-medicate with antibiotics intended for animals. This is not a health enforcement or surveillance study. We are not here to judge or report anyone-we're here to listen and learn from your real-life experience.
A single 1 to 2-hour in-person interview at a location agreed upon by you and the research team. We can travel to you. Your personal information will be anonymized.
