Doctor's Health - Health Behavior of Physicians in Germany (Doc'sHealth)

November 21, 2016 updated by: Jochen Gensichen, MD, MA, MPH, University of Jena

Doc's Health - Doctor as a Patient - An Observational Study on Health Behavior of Physicians in Germany

This is an observational study to assess the health behavior of Physicians from medical practices in Germany. Physicians will be asked by a questionnaire (self-report) on health behavior, self-diagnostics and self-medication in case of sickness. We will send the questionnaire to 1000 General Practitioners and to 300 medical specialists in Germany. We expect a response rate of 25-30 %. After electronically data-entry we will run a descriptive analysis for primary outcome. Results may provide a better understanding of the Physicians health behavior.
