dc.descriptionThis review identifies seven intervention categories that have been tested in the peer reviewed literature through RCTs in the community. Namely, education, communication training, point of care (POC) testing, decision support tools (other than POC testing), delayed prescribing, audit and feedback, and multiple component interventions (which involved a combination of two or more of the latter). There was a high share of interventions with multiple components. For example, educational interventions were often combined with one or more other interventions such as communication training and audit and feedback interventions. Most of the studies tested whether interventions changed the behaviours of prescribing followed by consumption. Some studies also measured whether prescriptions were dispensed or not after the interventions.en_US
