“…Prescribing as a whole Eight of the trials used educational interventions that were directed at a broad range of prescribing tasks from drug history to choosing a treatment and writing the prescription [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Six trials were based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Good Prescribing Guide intervention [14][15][16][17][18][19], whereas two trials used their own in-house intervention [20,21].…”

It is promising that the WHO six-step method, which has proven to be effective, has been adopted by all Dutch medical schools [11,13,24]. Moreover, in general, it is best to provide education throughout medical training, with emphasis on the patient-related context [25][26][27].…”

“…In fact, a literature review could not advise a specific educational intervention [10], although the WHO six-step method for rational prescribing is effective in the short and longer term [11][12][13].
