Post by The Lancet Infectious Diseases

🆕 Podcast for The Lancet Infectious Diseases 🎧 Listen to Brecht Ingelbeen and Daniel VALIA as they discuss the rationale and results of their recently published cluster-randomised trial of a behavioural intervention bundle to improve antibiotic use, patient management, and WaSH in rural communities in Burkina Faso and Democratic Republic of the Congo. The intervention was co-created with the community and included three rounds of mass health education campaigns and educational and feedback sessions targeting all community-level health-care providers. The authors found a reduction in any and WHO AWaRE Watch-group antibiotic use without a negative impact on patient management (assessed through simulated patient visits).  Listen to the podcast here: https://bit.ly/43EUBok #AntimicrobialStewardship #WaSH #GlobalHealth #AMR #AWaReClassification #HealthcareAccess
