Determinants of in-hospital antibiotic prescription behaviour - Author's reply

Abstract

We appreciate the response of Peiffer-Smadja and colleagues to our article confirming the importance of the use of social science to understand antibioticprescription behavior (APB) [1], [2]. In their letter, Peiffer-Smadja et al. advocate the supplementation of the proposed conceptual framework with insights from cognitive science, most notably cognitive biases [2].
