Funded Activity Summary
Unintended consequences? A sociological study of how social relations influence decisions about antibiotics. Professional decision-making can be difficult to influence, particularly in health contexts. Decisions are often not just about scientific evidence of best practice. Rather, decisions are heavily influenced by social context and the relationships that surround them. An 'antimicrobial perfect storm' is predicted to occur within the next two decades, in part due to poor antibiotic decision-making, presenting a major threat to Australia. Using rigorous sociological research methods, this project aims to explore the social underpinnings of antibiotic decision-making, incorporating professional, lay and managerial perspectives. It aims to provide a means of understanding current practice and the barriers to enacting change.Funded Activity Details
