Table 4.

Various analysis scenarios to fulfil objectives two to five of the study

Objectives Outcome Unit of analysis No of observations/ intervention cohort Total no of observations/ control cohort
Preintervention Postintervention
2 Overall prescribing rates of antibiotics* Providers 3 3 12
3 Prescribing rates of antibiotics critically important to humans Providers 3 9 12
4 Mean duration of antibiotic prescribing Providers 6 6 12
5 Prescribing rates of broad-spectrum antibiotics Providers 9 3 12

The change in preintervention period, intervention period and postintervention period reflect the order in which the three feedback reports (intervention) are provided to the participants

*The overall prescribing rate will be influenced by all three feedback reports (intervention). Hence the postintervention data points for overall prescribing rate will be the last 3 months following the receipt of the last feedback report.
