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.
