It results in significant carer distress and healthcare service use. This project is the first to explore the approach of Australian general practitioners (GPs) in managing cry-fuss behaviour. <h5>Methods</h5> Semi-structured interviews with GPs were completed over a 30- to 60-minute period. GPs were purposively sampled to obtain diverse demographic characteristics. Interviews were transcribed and NVivo software was utilised to identify themes within the data. <h5>Results</h5> This project is ongoing at the time of abstract submission. Themes that are emerging include the confidence level of the GP, factors affecting confidence and threshold for the prescription of acid-suppressing medication and referral. <h5>Discussion</h5> The results will identify resource-depleted areas of practice (eg experience, teaching and guidelines). As such, focused intervention such as education, guidelines or clinical pathways can be implemented to support GPs with this challenging presentation. </div> <div class="article-sidebar-container"> <div id="" class="advertising-block-container half-page"> <div style='position:sticky;
