Abstract

In a survey of 396 caregivers of children, 119 (30%) reported requesting antibiotics from clinicians and 65 (16%) had stored antibiotics at home. In addition, 47 (12%) reported past or intended nonprescription antibiotic administration; this finding was associated with household income of ≥$75 000 annually (odds ratio 2.042, 95% confidence interval 1.01-4.14, P = .048).
