We are currently recruiting for a project titled 'Antimicrobial futures and societies: Social research on antibiotics in community settings'. This research explores antibiotics use by examining the views and experiences of members of the community, prescribers in human and animal health, scientists and decision-makers. We aim to gain your reflections on antibiotics and how to use them, prescriber-consumer communications, the contributions of science and policy, and the social and economic drivers of antibiotics use. The research will help to inform policy and communications for the national response to antimicrobial resistance in Australia. The research is being led by the Microbio-Social Futures program at Monash University and undertaken in collaboration with NCAS at the University of Melbourne; it has been funded by the Australian Research Council (DP200100002).
