Abstract

Patient expectations can influence how general practitioners (GP) prescribe antibiotics. Overseas studies demonstrate a relationship between ethnicity and antibiotic usage. Little is known about whether patients from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in Australia have differing knowledge, beliefs and expectations about antibiotic usage.
