Individualized Feedback
We use information from the baseline visits (e.g., on whether they give antibiotics without a prescription and the time they spend with patients) to provide customized feedback to the pharmacies.
Legal Reminder
We provide a letter from the authorities in Ghana emphasizing that providing antibiotics without a physician prescription is against the law.
