We performed an IRB approved, cross-sectional survey of consecutive adult neurology outpatients at a single center. Patients completed a structured, anonymous questionnaire at check-in (no PHI). Awareness was captured on a 4-level scale (“not really,” “less than half,” “more than half,” “all”) and secondarily collapsed to binary (full vs less-than-full) for inferential tests. Covariates included gender, education (grouped), income (binary), insurance (grouped), and recency of counseling (physician, pharmacist). Associations were tested with Pearson χ² or Fisher/Fisher–Freeman–Halton exact tests (α=0.05).

Overall, full medication awareness was high (86%). In gender analyses (valid n=196), men more frequently reported full awareness than women (≈96% vs 82%); this was significant by Fisher–Freeman–Halton exact test (p=0.017). ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú showed no significant association with awareness (trend only). Recency of physician counseling (valid n=186) and pharmacist counseling (n=182) did not differentiate awareness (both p>0.15). Insurance category was not associated with awareness. Income was significantly associated with awareness (valid n=124): 84% with full awareness in the lower-income group vs 98% in the higher-income group (χ² p=0.025; Fisher p=0.033). Exact tests were used where expected counts were small; results were directionally consistent.
