How Evidence Based Medicine Affects Private Sector Doctors

This study examines the impact of an evidence-based medicine (EBM) intervention in Jordan that used 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 Minki Chatterji at the Private Sector Pre-Day to the International Health Economists Association's World Congress in July 2013.
