The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collaborated to set national targets for reducing inappropriate antibiotic use in outpatient settings.

Together, these targets will serve as a roadmap toward achieving the reduction goal outlined in the National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: reduce inappropriate antibiotic use by 50 percent in outpatient settings by 2020.

To help inform and guide the target-setting process, Pew convened a panel of leading antibiotic use experts, representing a broad range of medical fields, including internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, and a wide variety of other outpatient specialists.

In this video, hear from Adam Hersh of the Primary Children’s Hospital on how pediatricians can help prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics in children.
