SCORE
Nature of the Problem 2/3 *1 0.67 This problem is under HEALTH

self- medicate without seeking for
medical help and would only rely on
what is convenient to them.
Magnitude of the 3 /4 *3 2.25 The magnitude of the problem is

we give teachings, there will always
be one who will still continue to
practice self- medication.
Preventive Potential 2 / 3 *1 0.67 I can say it can’t prevent but can be
reduced in number so the score is 2
which IS MODERATELY
PREVENTIVE. Because again we
can only reduce the number but
can’t prevent the occurrence of the
problem. It will always be down to
their decision whether to take the
risk of self- medication or not.
Social Concern 1 / 2 *1 0.5 This is CONSIDERED A PROBLEM

residents in Talandang tend to self-
