Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testing New Ways to Name Antimicrobial Resistance (NCT NCT06356285)

NCT ID: NCT06356285

Last Updated: 2025-01-14

Results Overview

Evaluation of participant's attitudes towards antimicrobial resistance, related to questions within the survey that assess sentiment (including agreement that antimicrobial resistance is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed, antimicrobial resistance poses a risk to human health and antimicrobial resistance is an issue that may impact the participants own health). This was conducted using a quasi-binominal regression model using the sum of binary ratings of sub-sentiment questions as the primary outcome analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Adults residing in the UK aged over 18, passed attention check

Intention regarding antibiotic use in the context of antimicrobial resistance related to questions within the survey that evaluate intent - asking participants about whether they would request antibiotics in certain scenarios. This was conducted using a separate logistic regression for each scenario (binary - Yes or No).
