Summary

What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in resource-limited areas, potentially slowing antibiotic resistance.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (30 doctors) with no control group, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The tool relies on self-reporting, which can be biased.
