Low-value Chronic Prescription of Acid Reducing Medication Among Dutch General Practitioners

The intervention consists of the distribution of a poster for the waiting room and flyers to be given to patients aiming to inform both patients and GPs with respect to the correct indications for treatment of dyspepsia. After signing up, practices assigned to the intervention group received a package containing 60 flyers and one waiting room poster to use during consultations. The flyer and poster provide a short description of the correct indications for treatment of dyspepsia. Additionally, both the flyers and posters contained a QR-code linking to a decision aid explaining the correct indications and causes of dyspepsia.
