NCT ID NCT06436690
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests two simple, low-cost ways to help junior doctors prescribe antibiotics more carefully: asking them to write the diagnosis on the prescription and giving them feedback on their prescribing habits. Researchers will track whether these reminders lower the number of antibiotic prescriptions written by 56 doctors in outpatient clinics. The goal is to fight antibiotic resistance without adding extra work for physicians.
