Fig. 1: The effects per wave and the overall effect of the post-antibiotic era film depiction on antibiotics expectations and intended antibiotics requests
From: Seeing an apocalyptic post-antibiotic future lowers antibiotics expectations and requests
. Wave 1 was the Pre-COVID wave, from 13/2/2018 to 16/03/2018, before the pandemic. Wave 2 was the COVID lockdown wave from 24/2/2021 to 28/5/2021, during and shortly after the third and last lockdown which ended on 29 March in the UK. Wave 3 was the COVID post-lockdown wave from 11/11/2021 to 02/5/2022, when restrictions were gradually lifted despite the spread of the Omicron variant. Bar graphs (a, c) depict the intervention effect on antibiotic expectations (a) and intended requests (c) in each wave. Circles represent estimated sample proportions; error bars represent 95% Agresti-Coull add-4 confidence intervals for a binomial proportion. Pirateplots (b, d) depict the overall intervention effect on antibiotic expectations (b) and intended requests (d). Horizontal bold lines represent means, boxes represent 95% confidence intervals, shaded/coloured areas (i.e., beans) represent smoothed densities and circles represent individual responses. The sample sizes for both variables were as follows—the baseline condition: overall n = 192, n per wave: n1 = 55, n2 = 68, n3 = 69; the intervention condition: overall n = 186; n per wave: n1 = 52, n2 = 68, n3 = 66.
