N-of-1 Trials of Interventions to Improve Decision-making for Antibiotic Use

Patients who attend the emergency department with upper respiratory tract infections will be provided with patient education leaflets on appropriate antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. The leaflets are available in the four national languages in Singapore.

All physicians working in the emergency department will receive a text message from their department head on their antibiotic prescribing rates every two months.
