Three of 16 knowledge items showed the increase of the correct answerer proportion. Three conditions that showed increasing scores were common cold-URI, diarrhea, and uterus inflammation. For Group II, with 3 methods they showed the higher knowledge score after receiving antibiotic education (8.28±2.64 และ 12.55± 1.50, p<0.001).
