Comparing Antibiotic Treatment Strategies for Children With Pneumonia in Outpatient Settings: (STAMPP)

Children randomized to the immediate antibiotic prescribing group will receive an antibiotic prescription with instructions to fill and administer the antibiotics.

For children randomized to the SNAP group, their parents or guardians will receive a prescription for antibiotics, but will be told not to administer the antibiotic unless their child's symptoms show no improvement at 72 hours or worsen within 72 hours.
