Official title: Impact of a Public Commitment Charter Associated With Patient Information Leaflets on Antibiotics Prescribed by General Practitioners

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a pragmatic, randomised, controlled, before-after interventional study conducted in one region in France in primary care. The GPs in the intervention group will receive a public commitment charter, a non prescription pad and a patient information leaflet to be used when antibiotics are prescribed, while the control group will be not aware of the intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health threat and the overuse of antibiotics contributes to its development.

In France, outpatient antibiotic use remains above the European average. Ninety percent of antibiotics are prescribed to outpatients and 70% of these are prescribed by general practitioners. ;
