Antimicrobial Resistance Knowledge and Practices Survey in Laguna Lakeshore Communities

Soledad Natalia M. Dalisay's research employed a socio-ecological framework to examine antibiotic use in lakeshore communities in Calamba and Pila, Laguna, Philippines. The mixed-methods study collected data via KAP surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews, analyzed using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. The data informed recommendations for educational tools and policies to address antimicrobial resistance.

Use Cases

• Analyze community knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to antibiotic usage based on survey data.
• Model socio-ecological factors influencing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) based on qualitative data from focus groups and interviews.
• Inform the development of public health interventions and educational tools based on identified challenges and opportunities.

Strengths

• Applies a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative focus group discussions and interviews.
• Focuses on a specific and understudied geographic context: lakeshore communities in Laguna, Philippines.
• Data collection was informed by consultations with local government units, potentially increasing local relevance.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 245.5 KB PDF report; the underlying raw survey data and transcripts are not provided, limiting analysis.
• The geographic scope is limited to selected barangays in two municipalities, which may not be generalizable.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure must be inferred from the report.
