Summary

This observational study looks at whether children aged 3 months to 16 years are more likely to complete their full course of antibiotics when prescribed at a primary care clinic versus a hospital emergency department. Researchers surveyed parents by phone after treatment ended to see if at least 80% of the prescribed antibiotics were taken. The goal is to understand how the healthcare setting might influence treatment adherence.
