December 1, 2014 updated by: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

Assessment of an Interactive Education Tool to Disseminate Best Practice Recommendations on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease to Primary Care

This study involves the development and evaluation of a web-based, interactive education program on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for primary care clinicians.

The research questions that this proposal addresses include:

  1. Can an interactive, web-based COPD course be developed to disseminate evidence-based, best practice recommendations to primary care clinicians?
  2. Can assessment tools be developed to evaluate the impact of the program on clinician behavior in clinical practice and on patient care?
