Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Forty-one systematic reviews of professional behavior change interventions published 1966-1998 were identified, covering a wide range of interventions and behaviors — related
- Most professional behavior change interventions are effective under some circumstances but none are effective under all circumstances — related
- Educational outreach (for prescribing) and reminders are promising approaches to changing professional behavior — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Passive dissemination approaches are generally ineffective and unlikely to result in professional behavior change — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
