Community awareness initiative about antimicrobial resistance: An educational intervention by medical undergraduates.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem and an important consequence of inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents (AMAs). Studies have observed that a lack of awareness of AMR among healthcare professionals as well as consumers results in the irrational use of AMAs, a significant driver of AMR.

Materials And Methods: This educational intervention study was undertaken to assess community awareness regarding AMAs and AMR and to educate them.
