Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Outcome measures: 1. Evidence based clinical reasoning; 2. Self-reflection and insight; 3. Commitments to change. Outcome measures are conducted at baseline and follow up after 6 months. Measurement instruments: 1. Assessment of evidence based reasoning; an online questionnaire based on 4 clinical vignettes (cases). Evidence based reasoning is assessed by a set of closed questions and a 3-pt response format. Questions represent pre-set quality indicators for guideline adherence; 2. Self-reflection and insight scale (SRIS). At baseline participants will be asked to fill out the online Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS). The SRIS is a validated 20-item closed questionnaire in which respondents use a 5-point Likert scale. Commitments To Change Statements measurement.
