IV) qualitative group interviews assess local guidelines. Results: Papers I II: reduced number taking PIMs total these taking, but not more than three psychotropic drugs. significant proportion (87%) sample FRIDs ODs. Numbers associated severe There no association between numbers ODs occurrence Paper III: decrease antibiotic prescribing rate one groups compared control 0-6 years, differences all ages. IV: Trust recommendations safety found key factors prescribing, patient-doctor encounter, emphasis informing patient. The GPs experienced lack time self-inform, difficulties managing multiple prescribers direct-to-consumer industry information. Cost containment perceived both barrier motivator for guidelines. Conclusion: Multi-professional assessment patient’s list feasible methods improve quality studied further. trust essential prescribing.
