In 1995,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched
a national campaign to reduce antimicrobial resistance through
the promotion of more judicious antibiotic use. This campaign
is comprehensive and extensive, encompassing public media,
professional education, and applied research and surveillance
activities.
CDC's
National Campaign for Appropriate Antibiotic Use has two objectives:
- Reduce
inappropriate antibiotic use
- Reduce
the spread of resistance to antibiotics
To accomplish
these objectives, the campaign has several major areas of
activity:
- Developing
strategies and materials that will lead to changes in risk
behaviors related to antibiotic use
- Serving
as a resource to groups implementing and evaluating campaigns
and intervention programs
- Forming
partnerships to harness the resources of collaborating organizations
- Assessing
the impact on antibiotic use, resistance, and patient/provider
satisfaction.
