This study developed and validated the Comprehensive Prevention Knowledge and Applications Survey Instrument. This tool effectively measures primary care physicians' prevention knowledge and practices, including sexually transmitted disease prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Preventive Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Limited tools exist to assess primary care physicians' (PCPs) prevention practices.
  • There is a need for instruments evaluating knowledge and application of preventive medicine, including sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a comprehensive survey instrument.
  • To evaluate PCPs' current knowledge, counseling skills, and application of preventive medicine.

Main Methods:

  • A 74-item survey instrument, the Comprehensive Prevention Knowledge and Applications Survey Instrument, was designed.
  • Content validity was established by four experts in preventive medicine and public health.
  • Reliability testing involved a random sample of 315 family physicians, with replication on 432 additional physicians for stability.
