aOR = adjusted odds ratio; Ref = reference.
Notes: Binomial logistic regression analyses, based on 306 participants for an antibiotic prescription received and 304 participants for an antibiotic dispensed.
↵a Based on response on postpresentation questionnaire. Responses on the 7-point Likert scale were collapsed to a 5-point scale by combining responses of 1 and 2 to represent “strongly disagree” and 6 and 7 to represent “strongly agree.”
