Background There is significant inappropriate and overuse of antibiotics in the United States. We describe patterns of self-reported actual use of antibiotics and indications in Wisconsin adults. Methods The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) is an annual health study of a wide range of health determinants and outcomes among a population-based sample of residents with targeted recruitment of underrepresented minorities. In 2016, SHOW initiated WARRIOR (Winning the War on Antibiotic Resistance), an ancillary study that assessed actual antibiotic use and indications among adults. Antibiotics were grouped by pharmacologic class, and indications were grouped into clinical categories. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to examine factors associated with antibiotic use. Results Overall, 756 adults [435 female and 321 male; mean (SD) age=54.2 (16.5)] were recruited, and 256 (33.5%) reported antibiotic use in the past year. Females (OR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.29, 2.70), people with current comorbidities or history of certain health conditions (OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.23, 3.39), and people with a mental health or developmental condition (OR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.33, 281) were statistically significantly more likely to report antibiotic use. BMI (kg/m2) was slightly higher among antibiotic users (31.2) than nonusers (29.8; P = 0.064). Diabetes, heavy drinking, and smoking history were not correlated with antibiotic use. Top antibiotic classes used were penicillins (31%), macrolides (12%), first-generation cephalosporins (9%), tetracyclines (8%), quinolones (7%), and nitroimidazoles (3%). Top indications reported were upper respiratory infection (URI; 32.3%), dental condition or procedure (21.0%), surgery (12.6%), lower respiratory infection (11%), urinary tract, bladder, or kidney infection (7%), skin or soft-tissue infection (6%), and insect bite or insect-borne infection (6%). Conclusion Antibiotic use varies among Wisconsin adults, and certain groups are more likely to have used antibiotics in the last year. The top two reported indications for antibiotics were categories with known high rates of inappropriate (e.g., URI) and prophylactic (i.e., dental) prescribing. Further studies are needed to determine specific opportunities to reduce antibiotic use in Wisconsin. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
