Area of Science:

  • Preventive medicine
  • Health services research
  • Primary care

Background:

  • The Put Prevention into Practice (PPIP) program was created to overcome barriers to preventive service delivery in the U.S.
  • Barriers included patient, clinician, and office-related factors impacting optimal care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the dissemination of the PPIP program by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
  • To assess the extent of knowledge and utilization of PPIP among family physicians.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized pre- and post-dissemination surveys of AAFP members.
  • Analyzed AAFP purchase order data for PPIP components.
  • Sent mail questionnaires to a random sample of purchasers to determine PPIP usage.

Main Results:

  • After two years, 27% of AAFP members had heard of PPIP.
  • 2,004 individuals purchased PPIP components; flow sheets and guides were most popular.
  • 58% of purchasers used at least one PPIP item (excluding the handbook), with an average of under four items used.

Conclusions:

  • Initial dissemination and implementation of PPIP among family physicians were limited.
  • Availability of materials alone is insufficient to enhance preventive service delivery.
  • Additional strategies like external consultation, integration into HMOs, and resident training are necessary for improved dissemination and implementation.
