Optimizing Antibiotics Prescription

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Interventions that are low-cost, do not add substantially to the physician workload, are consistent with good physician practices and WHO guidelines, and serve as a reminder on the risks of overprescribing antibiotics are critically needed. The overall goal of the proposed project is to test the effect of two behavioral interventions targeted to junior physicians-specifically, requiring them to specify the diagnosis in the prescription note and providing feedback-on their antibiotics prescription rate; examine the intervention's effects across gender and caste; and draw lessons for scaling up the intervention.
