Prescription Pattern
Conditions
Brief summary
General practices in the Capital Region of Denmark are offered a short educational visit and are randomized to either proton pump inhibitor (intervention) or another topic (control). The change in prescription pattern from before to after the visit is compared between the intervention and control group.
Detailed description
General practices in the Capital Region of Denmark are offered a short educational visit. They are randomized by address to be offered a visit about either proton pump inhibitor (intervention) or another topic (control). The prescription pattern of each general practice (as seen by their regional registration number \[ydernummer\]) who receive a visit is investigated. The change in prescription pattern from before to after the visit is compared between the intervention and control group.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALProton pump inhibitor education
A 15 minutes (preferable) one-on-one educational visit about deprescription of proton pump inhibitor
BEHAVIORALOther education
A 15 minutes (preferable) one-on-one educational visit about another topic (NOT asthma).
