Summary

This study tests whether new Swiss national guidelines can help family doctors reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions for acute respiratory infections like colds and flu. About 200 doctors and clinics in French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland will be randomly assigned to either receive training on the guidelines or continue usual care. Researchers will track antibiotic use through insurance billing data and surveys to see if the guidelines work in real-world practice.
