First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests two simple, low-cost strategies 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 approaches lower the rate of antibiotic prescriptions without harming patient care. The study involves 56 doctors and their adult patients at outpatient clinics in several hospitals.
