Alex and Rakesh -
Thanks for bringing this up. My interest is in general adult psychiatry. I
have
a related question - would be curious to know if anyone on the list has
developed a practical way to survey information needs in their own community
via a web based survey? I am thinking of applying this with psychiatry
residents to better inform my approach in teaching EBM principles.
-Best,
