1Department of Epidemiology & Public Health, University College London.
Abstract:
A great deal of effort and resources are currently being directed at developing an evidence-based approach to healthcare delivery. The success of the evidence-based movement will depend upon the provision of necessary support to help GDPs achieve change. This paper aims to give an overview of current knowledge on what types of interventions are most effective at changing health professionals' clinical practices. Barriers to change are highlighted and the implications for the development of evidence-based dentistry are considered. Further research on organisational, social and personal influences affecting the application of evidence-based practice is necessary.
