Objective: Determine the association between self-medication as a cause of not going to a health facility with the ethnic groups of Peru. Methods: Secondary analysis on obtaining data from the National Household Survey (ENAHO) in 2019. Generalized linear Poisson models were used for complex samples, and also; Cross-adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) associated with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Finally, collinearity relationships between variables were evaluated through the adjusted model. Results: 23,242 people were analyzed. The prevalence of self-medication was 25.7%, 95% CI (22.9 - 24.9). Belonging to the native Amazonian ethnicity was associated with a higher prevalence of self-medication as a cause of not attending a health facility with a total of 28.8% PR: 1.4, 95% CI (1.1 - 1.7) p < 0.01. Otherwise, the Aymara or white population was less prevalent in self-medicating as a reason for not going compared to the mestizo population. PR: 0.38, 95% CI (0.28 - 0.51) p < 0.01, PR: 0.79, 95% CI (0.67 - 0.93) p < 0.01, respectively. Conclusions: It was found that there is a higher prevalence in mestizos who self-medicated as a reason for not going to a health center, compared to Quechuas, Aymaras, native Amazonians and the rest of the participants.
