Attitude of providers towards ASCVD 10-year risk estimator and their use of 10-year ASCVD risk estimator in their practice

Question* Response (Pre-training) [N=147] Response (Post-training) [N=121] Absolute/Relative change p-value**
Provider aware of the web version of the 10-year ASCVD risk estimator (item 3) 90 (61.22%) 109 (90.08%) 28.86%/47.1% 0.0002
Provider comfortable (very or somewhat) using the 10-year ASCVD risk estimator (item 4) 83 (56.46%) 101 (83.47%) 32.36%/57.31% 0.0002
I have confidence in the 10-year ASCVD risk estimator (item 10) (somewhat or strongly agree) 67 (45.58%) 99 (81.82%) 36.24%/79.51% 0.0002
The use of the ACC/AHA 10-year ASCVD risk estimator will overestimate the true 10-year CVD risk in my patients (item 11) (somewhat or strongly agree) 42 (28.57%) 39 (32.23%) 3.66%/12.81% 0.5466
The use of the ACC/AHA 10-year ASCVD risk estimator will underestimate the true 10-year CVD risk in my patients (item 12) (somewhat or strongly agree) 17 (11.56%) 32 (26.45%) 14.89%/128.8% 0.0026
Provider does not agree with the new 10-year ASCVD risk estimator (item 23e) 9 (6.12%) 3 (2.48%) 3.64%/59.5% 0.2645
Provider does not know where to look for the recent 10-year ASCVD risk estimator (item 23i) 11 (7.48%) 2 (1.65%) 5.83%/77.9% 0.0504
