Smarter, Shorter, Safer: Study protocol for a stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial and process evaluation of a behavioural intervention bundle to reduce antibiotic use in residential aged care

2026-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> The overuse and prolonged use of antibiotics in residential aged care (RAC) increases the risk of adverse effects and contributes to the global threat of antimicrobial resistance. Behavioural science-informed interventions have effectively reduced antibiotic prescribing in primary care but have rarely been implemented in RAC settings. We co-developed a behavioural science intervention bundle...
