*The above table presents median scores and interquartile range (IQR) in parentheses among residents and providers. A score of 1 on the Likert scale indicates an intervention the participant felt would not be useful in improving prescribing practices and a score of 5 indicates an intervention that was felt to be very useful in improving prescribing practices.
