Description
The background of this Europe-wide effort to raise public awareness about the importance of the prudent use of antibiotics, the Directorate-General for Health and Consumers wanted to ascertain how knowledgeable Europeans are about antibiotics.
This report is divided into three main parts, structured as follows:
- We will focus first of all on the use of antibiotics by Europeans; this will enable us to ascertain how they obtained their antibiotics and why they took them.
- We will then examine public knowledge and preconceptions about antibiotics, in order to identify what types of messages should be improved or repeated.
- Finally, we will analyse the potential impact of antibiotic awareness campaigns on the knowledge and practices of Europeans in this area.
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
