New study aims to cut antibiotic overuse in children with ear infections
NCT ID NCT06034080
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two methods to help doctors prescribe fewer antibiotics for children with ear infections when they aren't needed. One method uses changes to electronic health records and feedback reports for doctors. The other adds a shared decision-making tool that involves parents more. The goal is to keep parents satisfied while reducing unnecessary antibiotic use and following national guidelines.

What this could lead to
