Special Eurobarometer 407: Antimicrobial resistance

Description

This Special Eurobarometer on Antimicrobial Resistance seeks to measure the use of antibiotics among EU citizens in the 28 Member States and their level of knowledge about the nature and effectiveness of antibiotics and the risks associated with unnecessary use. Furthermore, it seeks to determine the impact of antibiotic awareness campaigns on the knowledge and behaviour in the area. The results reveal a modest positive evolution since the first survey taken in 2009: 35% of respondents say they have taken antibiotics in the past year, which represents a 5% decrease since the 2009 survey. 2% fewer people took antibiotics against flu in 2013 (18% vs 20%), and more people are aware that antibiotics do not kill viruses than in 2009 (40% vs 36%). The current tracker survey uses the same questions as in 2009, and the report addresses the same key objectives: - to identify the use of antibiotics among the EU public: the frequency with which they take antibiotics, how they obtained them, and for what reason they took them; - to measure the levels of public knowledge about the nature and effectiveness of antibiotics and the risks associated with their unnecessary use; - to determine the impact of antibiotic awareness campaigns on the knowledge and actions of Europeans. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
