Detailed Description
The study is a cluster randomized trial recruiting general practitioner from practices in Northern Bavaria/Germany forming a research network within the recently implemented framework of PRO PRICARE (Preventing Overdiagnosis in Primary Care).
At baseline, the intervention group (24 out of 48 doctors) will take part in a one-day training session covering theoretical background and clinical implementation of ICE communication in association with frequent consultation contents.
Primary outcome measure are referrals to physiotherapists and medical specialists such as orthopaedic surgeons, neurologists and radiologists, obtained from routinely collected practice data. Secondary outcomes are patients' and doctors' satisfaction measured via structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Blinding is attempted by hiding the trial purpose and treatment allocation from the participating doctors.
