Increased public awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a key component of effective antimicrobial stewardship strategies. Educational theatre combined with an expert panel was used to engage the public about AMR through delivery of a play entitled 'The drugs don't work'. Audience knowledge and understanding of AMR were measured by pre- and post-play questionnaires. Performance of the play and discussion with the expert panel significantly improved audience knowledge and understanding of AMR, including antibiotic misuse and prescribing. Educational theatre provides a positive learning experience and is an innovative method of public engagement to disseminate important public health messages.

这些药物不起作用：对教育剧院进行评估，以评估和影响公众对抗菌素耐药性的看法。

公众对抗菌素耐药性（AMR）意识的增强是有效抗菌素管理策略的关键组成部分。教育剧院与专家小组相结合，通过播放题为“毒品不起作用”的剧本，使公众对AMR感兴趣。观众的知识和对AMR的理解是通过赛前和赛后问卷来衡量的。表演和与专家小组的讨论大大提高了听众对AMR的了解和理解，包括滥用抗生素和开处方。教育剧院提供了积极的学习体验，是一种创新的公众参与方式，可以传播重要的公共卫生信息。
