The utility of an AMR dictionary – a pilot evaluation

This database contains the data of a pilot evaluation in 374 high school students in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand based on our study "The utility of an AMR dictionary as an educational tool to improve public understanding of antimicrobial resistance". The AMR dictionary is available at https://www.amrdictionary.net<br>The questions were: (1) “Antibiotics (often called anti-inflammatory drugs) can kill viruses” (the correct answer is false), (2) “Antibiotics (often called anti-inflammatory drugs) are effective against colds and flu” (the correct answer is false), (3) “Unnecessary use of antibiotics (often called anti-inflammatory drugs) can make them become ineffective” (the correct answer is true) (4) “Taking antibiotics (often called anti-inflammatory drugs) can cause side-effects such as diarrhoea” (the correct answer is true), and (5) “Antibiotics (often called anti-inflammatory drugs) are used to treat inflammation. Their direct effects are to relieve pain and swelling.” (the correct answer is false). <br><br>The first session assessed their understanding of AMR at baseline, the second after searching the internet, and the third after the provision of the printed AMR dictionary and its web address. <br>
