The goal of this cross-sectional descriptive observational study is to assess the extent of self-medication among the crews of surface ships at the Toulon naval base. This study could include healthy volunteers, or participants with well-controlled chronic pathologies enabling them to be fit for embarkation, who are currently being deployed for at least 4 weeks on a surface ship at the naval base. Participants will tick and complete a questionnaire (between 15 and 30 minutes) after 4 consecutive weeks on the ship.
