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 pharyngitis, acute sinusitis, acute otitis media, and non-specific upper respiratory tract infections.
The intervention (called ‘ARI Campaign’) emphasized the use of a dashboard (audit-feedback) report 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 ARI Campaign elements and suggestions for improvement. Your responses will be used to refine delivery of the ARI Campaign and gauge acceptability of the interventional approach.
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!

Fidelity and Sustainability. Please answer the following questions with regards to interactions with site investigators and/or current stewards associated with the ARI Campaign.
29. During the ARI Campaign, the dashboard reports were supposed to be delivered through e-mail or during an initial academic detailing visit. Reports were then supposed to be delivered every 2-3-month intervals for providers who received a baseline report. During the ARI Campaign, were you provided reports in this described format?
Yes No (If yes please explain)
30. Academic detailing was supposed to be provided as one-on-one, or in small groups by Dr. Thorell. Additional academic detailing visits were encouraged for providers who did not improve performance after the initial reports. These academic detailing conversations were intended to be guided by the dashboard report. During the ARI Campaign did you also provided academic detailing?
Yes No (If yes please explain)
31. I feel the frequency and quality of contact with the site investigator and/or antimicrobial steward each quarter was sufficient to implement intervention activities at my site. Please circle a number below.
