Annual Report 2011 | INCT-INOFAR 61 Scientific Education and Awareness Edmundo Lins Municipal School INCT-INOFAR in schools With the goal of teaching content that is not usually taught in schools – the importance of the correct use of medications – making children and teenagers multipliers of knowledge among their friends and families, the Drugs and Medicines INCT created the Project “INCT-INOFAR in schools”. Focused primarily on public schools in Rio de Janeiro, the city where the INCT-INOFAR headquarters are located, at UFRJ, the Institute has also encouraged its network of researchers in several parts of the country to carry out local educational initiatives. INCT-INOFAR also helps increase awareness on the correct use of medications by providing their Health Education materials to institutions that wish to conduct educational campaigns in this area. Through visits and lectures in municipal and state schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro, the Institute deals with this subject. Inaugural action in Rio de Janeiro On June 17, 2011, INCT-INOFAR visited the Edmundo Lins Municipal School, located in the Ramos neighborhood, in Rio de Janeiro. The institution has students from grades 1 to 5, in two shifts (morning and afternoon). Approximately 260 students had the opportunity to attend the event promoted by INCT- INOFAR at the school. In the dynamic with the children, a team of pharmacists from INCT-INOFAR connected to the Evaluation and Synthesis of Bioactive Substances Laboratory (LASSBio®/UFRJ) presented an animated booklet on the correct use of medications and interacted with the students, encouraging them to ask questions on the subject. What is the difference between a doctor and a pharmacist What is the importance of taking medications at the right time Can I take a headache medication on an empty stomach How can we identify if a medication is fake If someone else goes to the doctor with the same symptoms I have, can I take the same medication Is drinking sugar water a placebo These were some of the questions that the INCT-INOFAR pharmacists answered didactically and humorously. The school visited received INCT-INOFAR kits with booklets and educational puzzles. In turn, the children recorded what they learned through drawings and essays.
