Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Simulated Scenarios Where an Antibiotic Was Not Prescribed — 5; 5; 4.2 scenarios
Summary
1. Do paper-based and web-based intervention modelling experiments (the methodology we are developing) identify the same predictors of GP behaviour regarding prescribing of antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections?
2. Can a web-based IME system provide trialists with richer and more predictive information upon which to base the development of behavioural change interventions than paper-based IME systems?
