Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators have developed an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) to increase adherence to the Swedish guidelines for managing patients with a sore throat. This is a randomized controlled trial where primary health care centers are randomised to get the ASP or not. The adherence to the Swedish guidelines are measured in all participating centers 6 months before and after implementation of the ASP. The ASP consists of educational meetings at the clinic for medical practitioners and nurses being informed about current guidelines, seeing their clinics adherence to the guidelines as well as discussing cases.
