Aims:
To determine whether general dental practitioners would find seminars on research methods in primary care research of interest and whether they would be stimulated to plan their own research.
Method:
Questionnaire with both open and closed questions distributed to participants at the end of the seminars. 10 seminars in locations throughout the north west of England were planned.
Results:
98 dentists attended the seminars of whom 81 returned questionnaires, giving a response rate of 82.6%. More than 60% found the seminars and the specially developed teaching manual very useful. However there was somewhat less enthusiasm for undertaking research projects.
Conclusions:
The findings suggest that some GDPs are interested in primary care research but are not keen to initiate or plan research themselves.
