Hello, EBMers!
As I'm one of co-planner of the study Dr. Nomura mentioned below,
I'll add a bit explanation to his question; about backgroundof his
question.
In Japan, the term "Evidence-based Medicine" has getting popular
and popular to medical workers these days. But seemingly, and
better than worse but no good, to know the term EBM does NOT
mean to practice evidence-based manner. ONLY little number of
medical workers attmpt to practice EBM in Japan but turned to
fail to do that. The reason of the failure is considered that we Japanese
have scarcely proficient either in English , statistics and computer
literacy but no evidence about that is established yet. We are confident
that to clarify the obstacles of evidence-based practice in Japan would
succeed to break them.
So we are planning to perform Japanese medical workers
a medico-sociological or knowledge scientific study.
We really appreciate somebody show us any possible ideas to
accomplish our aim of study .
Regards
Saio
