Title of the publication | Impact of a 16-Community Trial to Promote Judicious Antibiotic Use in Massachusetts |
---|---|
Abstract | OBJECTIVES. Reducing unnecessary antibiotic use, particularly among children, continues to be a public health priority. Previous intervention studies have been limited by size or design and have shown mixed results. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of a multifaceted, community-wide intervention on overall antibiotic use for young children and on use of broad-spectrum agents. In addition, we sought to compare the intervention’s impact on commercially and Medicaid insured children. |
