Abstract
There are more than 230 million antibiotic prescriptions sent annually to pharmacies in the United States, and more than 28% of outpatient prescriptions are not necessary. This leads to antibiotic resistance and increased healthcare cost. To mitigate this risk, antibiotic stewardship aims to correct provider and patient behavior to ensure that the right drug, at the right dose, for the right duration and the right indication are prescribed. This project focused on community perspectives on this issue as well as provided resources to a local community health center for patients and providers on information regarding common infections and when antibiotics should be utilized.
