Abstract: To augment AHRQ's existing Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) dissemination efforts performed by the Eisenberg Center and other initiatives, AHRQ is conducting four one-time projects to test other ways to disseminate CER results. These four related projects will test new approaches to CER dissemination and promote awareness of the Effective Healthcare Program (EHCP). Collectively, dissemination efforts will reach AHRQ's priority audiences of: clinical decision makers, health care system decision makers, purchasers/business decision makers, public policy decision makers, and consumers/patients. Through these four projects AHRQ aims to: (1) educate professional and consumer audiences about CER; (2) inform professional and consumer audiences about AHRQ's EHCP; (3) and inform a wide range of audiences about new EHCP research findings. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of these four new dissemination efforts.
