We recently posted a preprint about two #AMRBehaviorChange approaches to reducing the #ExistentialRisk of #AntimicrobialResistance: low-cost passive educational stimuli that improved people’s understanding and decisions about whether to use #antibiotics.

Our latest preprint validated low-cost #globalRisk reduction stimuli.

An infographic and text message improved #antibiotic decisions in ways that may reduce existential risks of #AntimicrobialResistance.

Figure 3. Effects of the infographics on wanting antibiotics (top), realizing an upper respiratory infection is probably not bacterial (middle), and realizing that — in such circumstances — one probably does not need antibiotics (bottom) for Experiment 1 (left) and replication Experiment 2 (right) with 95% confidence intervals. Figures 4. Effects of the infographic and text message on asking for antibiotics (top), trying over-the-counter medication instead ntibiotics (middle), and trust in a doctor who offered antibiotics that were probably unnecessary (bottom) in Experiment 1 (left) and replication Experiment 2 (right) with 95% confidence intervals.
