First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether implementing new Swiss national guidelines for acute respiratory infections can reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing in primary care. Researchers will work with 200 family doctors in quality circles and walk-in clinics, providing training and materials to support targeted use of CRP testing and shared decision-making. The goal is to slow antibiotic resistance by cutting down on antibiotics for viral infections, where they don't work.
