NCT ID NCT07284914
First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests two simple interventions aimed at community pharmacies in Ghana: giving them personalized feedback on their antibiotic dispensing habits and sending a legal reminder that selling antibiotics without a prescription is illegal. Researchers will track whether these steps reduce the number of antibiotics given out without a doctor's order. The goal is to gather evidence to help design future policies against antimicrobial resistance.
