Audit and Feedback (A&F)

"In this protocol, we propose comparing 2 intervention design elements in a multifactorial design. Specifically, we will evaluate:~i) an emphasis on antibiotic-associated harms in comparison to messages that focus on lack of benefit; ii) simple versus adjusted peer comparators to represent a target for the prescribing quality indicators~We will also investigate the effects of the inclusion of materials developed by Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) - namely the viral prescription pad - to help physicians act upon the feedback to reduce their prescribing"
