Computerized Education: A Tool for Antibiotic Stewardship

This study examines the effectiveness of an interactive computerized education module in improving patient knowledge and attitudes about antibiotic use for acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs). It's like finding a new way to teach people about the desert environment, helping them understand the delicate balance between resources and overuse. The researchers found that the module significantly increased patient knowledge and reduced their desire for unnecessary antibiotics.

Navigating the Desert of Antibiotic Use
