Reducing unnecessary antibiotics for urinary tract infections by improving urine collection

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study implements a bilingual educational package—an animated video plus a pictorial flyer—focused on midstream clean‑catch urine collection for adults undergoing urine culture in safety‑net primary care. Participants at Baylor College of Medicine clinics will receive the materials and clinic staff will support the collection process. Researchers will track urine culture contamination rates and subsequent antibiotic prescriptions to see if contamination and inappropriate treatment decline. The approach emphasizes patient-facing, low‑literacy materials and stakeholder engagement to improve diagnostic accuracy.
