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 the Jeff Linder of Brigham and Women’s Hospital on how primary care physicians are the first line of defense against antibiotic overuse.
