The goal of this trial is to investigate if the use of information sheets regarding acute respiratory tract infections will lead to more rational antibiotic prescribing and increase patient-centered communication i Danish general practice.
The main questions to be answered:
We will compare use of information sheets in the consultation with patients with symptoms of acute respiratory tract infections to usual care (control) to find out if information sheets lower antibiotic prescribing.
Participants will be presented to the information sheets during the consultation regarding symptoms of acute respiratory tract infection.
Participants will fill in a short questionaire regarding patient-centered communication shortly after the consultation.
