Introduction
e‑Bug is supported by a strong body of research that shows how education can help children and young people understand infection prevention, antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
These publications, some of which are published independently of the e-Bug partnership, highlight how e‑Bug resources have been developed, used and evaluated in schools and communities in the UK and internationally. They show the impact of engaging, age‑appropriate learning on knowledge, attitudes and behaviours, and share insights into what works best for teaching health topics in real‑world settings.
Together, this evidence demonstrates e‑Bug’s role in supporting effective AMR education and helping prepare schools and educators for the increasing importance of AMR within national curricula, including PSHE.
