Accurate antimicrobial drug use data are needed to enlighten discussions regarding the impact of antimicrobial drug use in agriculture. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the perceived accuracy and clarity of different methods for reporting antimicrobial drug use information collected regarding beef feedlots. Producers, veterinarians, industry representatives, public health officials, and other knowledgeable beef industry leaders were invited to complete a web-based survey. A total of 156 participants in 33 US states, 4 Canadian provinces, and 8 other countries completed the survey. No single metric was considered universally optimal for all use circumstances or for all audiences. To effectively communicate antimicrobial drug use data, evaluation of the target audience is critical to presenting the information. Metrics that are most accurate need to be carefully and repeatedly explained to the audience.
需要准确的抗菌药物使用数据来为有关农业中抗菌药物使用影响的讨论提供信息。本研究的主要目的是调查报告肉牛饲养场收集的抗菌药物使用信息的不同方法的准确性和清晰度。邀请了生产者、兽医、行业代表、公共卫生官员和其他知识渊博的牛肉行业领导者完成一项基于网络的调查。来自美国33个州、加拿大4个省和其他8个国家的156名参与者完成了调查。没有一种单一的指标被认为对所有使用情况或所有受众都是普遍最优的。为了有效地传达抗菌药物使用数据，评估目标受众对于呈现信息至关重要。最准确的指标需要仔细且反复地向受众解释。
