Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Physicians who were in practice full- or part-time at study enrollment were recruited for participation
- Participants had to have access to the Internet as the study was conducted online.
You may not qualify if:
- The systematic reviews in all formats were only available in English, thus any participants who were not able to read and understand English were not eligible to participate.
- Anyone who had taken part in any phase of the development of the shortened versions of the systematic reviews (cased-based or evidence-expertise formats) were not eligible for recruitment.
