Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Community-Level Interventions for the Rational Use of Antibiotics

In recent years, the problem of antibiotic resistance resulting from misuse has become a prominent challenge threatening global public health security. As one of the most frequent settings for antibiotic use, the rationality of antibiotic usage in communities directly affects the overall effectiveness of resistance prevention and control. At present, the prevalence of self-medication misconceptions among residents, non-standard prescriptions by primary healthcare personnel, and illegal antibiotic sales in retail pharmacies in communities have increased the risk of irrational antibiotic use. Against this backdrop, this study focuses on community-level interventions for the rational use of antibiotics, systematically analyzing their significance in enhancing public awareness, standardizing prescription practices, and curbing the development of resistance. It further explores the mechanisms by which residents personal characteristics, community environmental conditions, and intervention design influence outcomes. Specific intervention measuressuch as public education, healthcare personnel training, monitoring and feedback, and pharmacy supervisionare detailed, and their implementation effectiveness is comprehensively evaluated. The study aims to contribute to the construction of a scientific and efficient resistance prevention and control system, safeguarding public health and medical safety.
