Socioeconomic and sociocultural factors play a critical role in driving AMR, shaping its health and economic impacts, and influencing the effectiveness of innovations that seek to tackle it.
The emergence and spread of AMR relate to a mix of factors including gender, living situations, education, healthcare access, (poor) governance, mobility, conflict, climate change, agriculture and pollution. AMR policy that understands these factors and the way they interact will be more likely to work.
