Important results from the project

Antibiotic Smart Sweden has achieved its overall goal of establishing a collaborative environment for antibiotic-smart people, municipalities, regions, and international collaborations. The project has contributed to broadening the issue from being seen as a primarily medical problem, to one that concerns the entire society and is part of our sustainable development. We have gained increased knowledge and habit of working innovatively and how target groups can be involved early.

Expected long term effects

That municipalities, regions and their services integrate actions against antibiotic resistance in routines and everyday work. That implementation and behavioral models are used to a greater extent when introducing recommendations and guidelines to support preventative work and continuous improvement in the area of hygiene and responsible antibiotic use. By communicating our work in international contexts, we make the process and lessons learned available outside of Sweden.

Approach and implementation

Based on four work packages and communications team with sub-project leaders who received support and were coordinated by the project management. The work packages comprised the target areas of antibiotic-smart residents, antibiotic-smart municipalities and regions, and national and international collaboration. The project applied structured work processes within implementation and behavioral science. An important component was contact with the target groups.
