How Evidence Based Medicine Affects Family Planning Providers: A Randomized Experiment in Jordan

This study examines the impact of an evidence-based medicine (EBM) intervention in Jordan that uses roundtable seminars discussing research evidence on DMPA to dispell providers' misconceptions regarding injectable hormonal contraceptives. The randomized study seeks to understand whether or not this intervention is effective in changing providers' knowledge about DMPA. The presentation was made by Marianne El-Khoury at the Population Association of America's annual meeting in April 2013.
