Antimicrobial resistance resulting from antibiotic overuse represents an increasing public health challenge. The purpose of this study was to investigate antibiotic self-medication practices in a rural, indigenous Guatemalan population, and to compare self-prescribing patterns in rural and semi-urban populations using a One Health integrated approach, a framework acknowledging that health arises at the interface of humans, animals, and the environment. We conducted a mixed methods study using semi-structured interviews in and around San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala.

Study Design: Eighteen semistructured telephone interviews of health system leaders, measurement implementers, and ambulatory pediatric clinicians were conducted. Five coders used applied thematic analysis to iteratively identify and refine themes in interview data.
Background: Families play a critical role in supporting the health and well-being of children with chronic illnesses, who face a lifetime of responsibility for self-management of their condition. Our goal was to investigate whether the novel Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®) Pediatric Family Relationships measure, developed primarily within the general pediatric population, reflects the experiences of family relationships for chronically ill children and their parents.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with children (aged 8-17) with common chronic conditions: asthma (n = 6), type 1 diabetes (n = 5), or sickle cell disease (n = 5), and separately with one of their parents (n = 16).
