1890. Healthcare Professionals’ Knowledge Attitudes and Beliefs Regarding Factors That Contribute to Inappropriate Antibiotic Use

摘要

Although improvements in prescribing have been observed for children, inappropriate prescribing remains a problem in all healthcare settings. To update CDC’s communications materials for the new Be Antibiotics Aware educational effort, we sought to identify factors that influence antibiotic prescribing behavior among healthcare professionals (HCPs).
