Participants' Ratings of Interactive Evidence-based Experience (Agree of Disagree)

Question n Mean (SD)* Agree, % P Value
I learned new information concerning evaluating chest pain in women. 29 4.21 (0.77) 79 <.001
I found new tools to retrieve information concerning evaluating chest pain in women. 29 4.31 (0.85) 90 <.001
I learned improved methods to determine posttest probability of disease, e.g., the probability of coronary artery disease after a positive or negative test. 29 4.14 (0.69) 83 .004
My clinical knowledge would improve if I attended regular interactive conferences similar to this exercise. 29 4.55 (0.51) 100 <.001
My ability to retrieve evidences based medical information would improve if I attended regular interactive conferences similar to this exercise. 29 4.41 (0.57) 97 <.001
My ability to interpret diagnostic tests would improve if I attended regualr interactive conferences similar to this exercise. 29 4.48 (0.57) 97 <.001
I need no further training in finding clinical information available online. 30 1.6 (1.00) 7 <.001
I am not likely to use computers in acquiring clinical information. 30 1.53 (1.11) 7 <.001
I am not likely to use computers in retrieving clinical information. 30 1.4 (0.86) 3 <.001
I am not likely to use computers to improve my abillity to interpret diagnostic tests. 30 1.57 (9.4) 7 <.001
I am not likely to attend conferences such as this again. 30 1.5 (1.04) 7 <.001
I am likely to learn more with routine, i.e., noninteractive case conference. 29 2.55 (1.12) 21 .003
Interpretation of diagnostic tests is better taught in routine case conference. 29 2.76 (1.09) 24 <.041
The medical literature is more likely to be accessible after routine case conference. 29 2.86 (1.19) 24 <.041
