Comparison of primary care physicians' recommendations for acute non specific low back pain management.

For this patient vignette, three statements explored physicians' recommendations regarding exercise, work and bed rest. The percentage of responses that were ‘guideline consistent’ and ‘guideline inconsistent’ at both pre- and post-intervention time points, are shown. Only subjects who completed both baseline and follow-up surveys were included in the post-intervention columns of the table. The kappa statistic assessed the degree of change in response.
