Understanding the mechanism of physician’s antibiotic prescribing decisions is increasingly highlighted to promote prudent use of antibiotics. Therefore, the current study aimed to fill the gap, modelling physician’s antibiotic prescribing and identifying the potential intrinsic and external determinants of antibiotic prescribing in primary care.
