NCT ID NCT07284914
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two simple interventions for community pharmacies in Ghana: giving them personalized feedback on their antibiotic dispensing habits, and sending a legal reminder that dispensing antibiotics without a prescription is against the law. Researchers will measure whether these approaches lower the rate of non-prescription antibiotic sales. The goal is to gather evidence to help design future policies that fight antimicrobial resistance.
