Abstract

This review's findings provide crucial insights into the behavioral and socioeconomic patterns influencing AMR in sub-Saharan African populations. For AMR interventions to be effective, there is a need for a thorough understanding of people's behaviors and practices about AMR knowledge and antimicrobial use which will help in developing more targeted interventions and policies to address inappropriate antimicrobial use and the spread of AMR.
