Antibiotics and the Consumer
June 20,
2006
APUA is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative entitled
Antibiotics and the Consumer: Perceptions and Use. The project,
funded by Pfizer, will center around the development, fielding,
and analysis of a national consumer survey aimed at gaining information
on the beliefs and circumstances which motivate people to use antibiotics
inappropriately. The project advisory board, which met for the first
time on June 5, includes experts from the fields of clinical medicine,
health communications, infectious disease research, and managed
care. At the June meeting, we identified several potential new areas
for investigation, and are now working to develop those ideas into
a survey to be fielded in the fall. |
