Research recommendations coming out of this guidance Cost effectiveness:- What is the cost effectiveness of interventions to prevent infection and promote the appropriate use of antimicrobials? Behavioural strategies and programmes:- What is the feasibility and effectiveness of specific behavioural strategies and programmes to reduce inappropriate antimicrobial demand and use and to prevent infections occurring and spreading? High-risk groups:- What interventions to prevent infection and reduce antimicrobial resistance are effective for groups of people at high risk of infection? This includes people who:- have suppressed immune systems (for example, because of HIV, an inherited condition or treatment they may be having for conditions such as cancer or an organ transplant)- have a chronic disease- live in crowded conditions (see Shelter's definition)- are homeless- have been in prison- have migrated from countries with a high prevalence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (examples include South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa). Workplace:- How effective are interventions in the workplace that aim to prevent infection and reduce antimicrobial resistance? Older people in day and residential care:- How effective are interventions in day and residential care for older people that aim to prevent infection and to reduce antimicrobial resistance?
