Abstract

AbstractIntroduction: Public health campaigns with a well-defined outcome behaviour have been shown to successfully alter behaviour. However, the complex nature of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) creates challenges when evaluating campaigns aimed at raising awareness and changing behaviour related to antibiotic usage.Aims: This review aims to determine what campaigns have been conducted and which have been effective at improving awareness of antimicrobial resistance and changing behaviour around antimicrobial use in members of the public. It also sought to determine which outcome measures studies have used to assess campaign effectiveness.Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE and Embase, was conducted in October 2022 using a predefined search strategy. Studies which were published between 2010 and September 2022 that outlined a campaign or invention aimed at the public and focusing on AMR or antibiotic usage were eligible for inclusion and studies which solely targeted healthcare professionals (HCP) were excluded.Results: Literature searches retrieved 6961 results. De-duplication and screening removed 6925 articles, five articles from grey literature and reference screening were included, giving a total of 41 studies and 30 unique interventions. There was a wide distribution of campaigns globally with the majority run in Europe (n=15) with most campaigns were conducted nationally (n=14). Campaigns tended to focus on adult members of the public (n=14) or targeted resources towards both the public and HCPs (n=13) and predominately assessed changes in knowledge of and/or attitudes towards AMR (n=16). Campaigns where an improvement was seen in their primary outcome measure tended to use mass media to disseminate information, targeted messaging towards a specific disease, and including the use of HCP-patient interactions.Discussion: This review provides some evidence that campaigns can significantly improve outcome measures relating to AMR and antibiotic usage. Despite a lack of homogeneity between studies some common themes emerged between effective campaigns. However, the frequent use of observational study designs makes it difficult to establish causation between the campaign and changes seen in the studies outcome measures. Therefore, the evaluation process needs to be embedded within the design process for future campaigns.
