BACKGROUND: The practice of self-medication among military fighter aircrew could compromise flight safety because of the adverse effects that can occur in flight. However, data on this subject is scarce. The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of the practice in this population. |

| Summary, etc. |
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out among the French Air Force fighter aircrew based on an anonymous questionnaire distributed electronically. The questions included personal characteristics, opinions, and relations with the healthcare domain as well as the use of self-medication in general and before a flight. |

RESULTS: Between March and November 2020, 170 questionnaires were reviewed for an overall return rate of approximately 34%. Our data showed an absolute self-medication rate of 97.6%, but the frequency of its use was rare or nonexistent in 53.5% of cases. Factors associated with a more frequent use of self-medication were the function of pilot, age under 35, having a regular prescription, lacking intentionality toward getting enough sleep, having confidence in the medical profession, and some specific clinical situations. The consumption of 97 medications was recorded and 49 before a flight. |

| Summary, etc. |
DISCUSSION: Despite the limitations due to the design of this survey, results suggest that the use of self-medication in fighter aircrews is a reality, but that the frequency of its use is less common. This practice is probably the result of a complex interaction between many personal factors. However, its impact on flight safety remains uncertain. |
