Our new research shows that explaining the nature of illness and providing point-of-care test results to patients might be just quite useful tools to calibrate their antibiotic expectations (changing threshold but also discernment)... #antibiotic @abc-network.bsky.social @essexuni.bsky.social

I had an interesting 2nd day at #ICBM2025 in Vienna today. In our session, I presented our work on communicating about #AMR and pudent antibiotic use when new antibiotics are developed. Please visit @abc-network.bsky.social if you are interested in the emerging field of behavioral research and AMR.

An inspiring keynote by @aliciad3.medsky.social at our Behavioral Insights and AMR workshop about how behavioral science can contribute to amr stewardship

Great conference in #Vienna last week thanks to @abc-network.bsky.social! www.linkedin.com/posts/cortne...

@evakrockow.bsky.social kick-starting the workshop on Behavioral insights and AMR with her talk about AMR risk communication... we need to communicate about AMR better.

Finally I get to meet @cortneyprice.bsky.social in person! Inspiring and hugely engaging talk on behavioural science in #AMR, touching on experiential strategies for policy influence.

Thought provoking keynote from @cortneyprice.bsky.social about how behavioral scientists should approach and influence policy makers

Excited to be in Vienna for this year's Behavioural Insights & Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop by the ABC network. Looking forward to a stimulating day and interesting discussions! Thanks for hosting us, @robertboehm.bsky.social! #AMR #antibioticresistance

I'm Zooming to Vienna from the U.S. for the 3rd #BehaviouralInsights & #AntimicrobialResistance Workshop. Kudos to @abc-network.bsky.social for sustainable international conferencing! I'll share highlights (even if I need to sleep through sessions starting at 3:30 AM my time 😅). Great program! 👇

Excellent talk by @miroslavsirota.bsky.social arguing that 'wicked learning environments' create misguided intuitions and expectations about antibiotics.

Get ready for #SMDM25 in Ann Arbor! 🎉 Alistair Thorpe presents 16 June 9:15 am on what US adults w/ self-reported antibiotic allergies think about delabeling. He's also looking forward to clinician cross talk, and reconnecting with colleagues! #MedicalDecisionMaking

Super excited to share key findings from our study in JAMA NO! Freq abx users (≥3 in 12mo) more likely to report: -wanting abx for an URI 💊 -Needing help w/health-related materials 📖 -Medical maximizing (prefer to act vs watch/wait) 🚀 -Disbelief in science 🚫🔬 💻: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is just a reminder that the application deadline for this year's Behavioural Insights & Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop (15./16. May in Vienna) is approaching. Submit your work until 31. March and visit us in Vienna! For further information, see www.a-bc.network/active.html

🔬 What is antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and why does it matter? AMR occurs when microorganisms become resistant to treatments, posing a major threat to global health and the environment. Its impacts, causes, and the need for a #OneHealth approach: www.unep.org/topics/chemi...

Hugely important work led by Dr. Emily Spivak on the environmental impact of unnecessary antibiotic prescribing in the US: ~66 million unnecessary prescriptions in 2022 estimated to have produced the CO2 equivalent of driving a car around the earth ~194 times! #AMR #AMS doi.org/10.1017/ash....
