# It’s QuizTime! The impact of web-based microlearning quizzes on guideline-concordant antibiotic duration for pediatric acute otitis media

## TL;DR

A web-based quiz improved doctors' adherence to antibiotic guidelines for treating children's ear infections.

## Contribution

A low-effort web-based quiz intervention is shown to improve guideline-concordant antibiotic prescribing.

- Those who took an enhanced quiz increased prescribing by 17.1%.

## Abstract

We evaluated the impact of a web-based quiz on prescribing guideline-concordant antibiotic duration for pediatric acute otitis media. Adjusted for baseline prescribing, participants increased mean guideline-concordant prescribing by 9.6% compared to nonparticipants; those who took an enhanced quiz increased 17.1%. QuizTime may be a low-effort intervention to increase stewardship education.
