Summary

This study looks at whether new Swiss national guidelines can help family doctors prescribe fewer antibiotics for acute respiratory infections like colds and flu, which are often caused by viruses and don't respond to antibiotics. About 200 doctors and clinics in French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland will be randomly assigned to either use the new guidelines or continue their usual practice. Researchers will track antibiotic prescribing through insurance data and surveys to see if the guidelines work in real-world settings.
