Introduction: From January 2018 through July 2019 your clinic participated in a study of an intervention designed to improve antibiotic prescribing for acute upper respiratory tract infections (ARI) such as acute sinusitis, acute otitis media, and non-specific upper respiratory tract infections.
The intervention (called ARI Campaign) emphasized the use of a dashboard report (a.k.a. audit-feedback) and academic detailing conducted by Emily Thorell, MD. MSCI.
The dashboard report included a summary of individual clinic providers’ distribution of ARI diagnoses and antibiotic prescribing patterns for treatment of ARI.
Academic detailing visits consisted of personalized one-on-one or small group educational sessions to discuss antibiotic prescribing for ARIs.
Patient education materials were provided to your clinic team at the start of the intervention. You have been identified as a site champion or peer within the facility who helped facilitate the intervention in a clinic that participated in the study.
Purpose: This survey will solicit your opinions on the ARI Campaign elements and suggestions for improvement. Your responses will be used to refine delivery of the ARI Campaign and gauge provider acceptability of the interventional approach.
Potential identifiable information submitted by you will only be available to the research team, and results shared with local facility investigators or in final reports will be de-identified and reported in aggregate.
Thank you for your consideration to participate!

Academic detailing visits conducted by Emily Thorell, MD. consisted of personalized one-on-one or small group educational sessions to discuss antibiotic prescribing for ARIs. These visits were primarily scheduled to coincide around the time you received your first dashboard report, but you may have participated in additional academic detailing visits during the study.
Please mark all that apply.
I participated in an initial academic detailing discussion on ARI antibiotic prescribing in a one-on-one or small group (<3 providers) setting delivered by a peer clinician.
I participated in at least one additional follow-up academic detailing discussion on ARI antibiotic prescribing in a one-on-one or small group setting (<3 providers) delivered by a peer clinician.
(If neither box above is marked skip questions 17-22)
Communication with the peer clinician during the academic detailing sessions was conversational. Please circle a number below.
