Abstract: This project is part of a larger three-year effort involving five complementary but separate projects. Four projects will focus on different audiences and methods for dissemination of health care related information to create awareness of comparative effectiveness research and changing clinician behavior, and the fifth will evaluate the impact of those four projects. The fifth project will collect data from all four dissemination projects to compare and analyze the effectiveness of the four different methods of dissemination. This submission focuses on the delivery of continuing education as Part 1 of the 5-part project.
