About this study

The investigators will conduct the survey regarding baseline characteristics, barriers and familiality to evidence-based medicine by online. After the survey, the participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the original version of ACE reports or Japanese version of ACE reports. The pdf of each ACE report will be provided to the participants through an email link. Twenty reports will be sent over 4 weeks period. After that, the investigators will conduct another survey regarding the reports.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of access to evidence summaries

    Time frame: Four weeks (28 days) after the commencement of the trial

    Total number of access to evidence summaries

Secondary outcomes

  1. Self-rated score of understanding the contents of the provided materials

    Time frame: Within four weeks after the end of intervention

    Five-point Likert scale in understanding the contents of provided materials, evaluated by the participants (higher scores means better outcome)

  2. Self-rated score in changing their practice based on the contents of the materials

    Time frame: Within four weeks after the end of intervention

    Five-point Likert scale in changing their practice based on the contents of the materials evaluated by the participants (higher scores means better outcome)
