Print Materials for American Indians/Alaska Natives

These print materials focus on when it is and is not appropriate to prescribe antibiotics and explain why antibiotic resistance is one of the world’s most pressing public health problems. In addition, the Get Smart: Know When Antibiotics Work program logo is not used on these materials due to the symbolic meaning of owls in many American Indian/Alaska Native cultures.

These print materials focus on the issue of antibiotic resistance and emphasize the importance of appropriate antibiotic prescribing and use. We encourage you to share these materials widely with your partners and colleagues.
