Primary care physicians' beliefs regarding low back pain and associated disability.

For each item, the mean (SD) scores are shown for pre- and post-intervention, the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means and the p-value (paired t-test). In addition, the summation of scores for all questions was calculated to give a total HC-PAIRS score. Lower scores suggest more alignment with current evidence regarding management of patients with low back pain (i.e.; lower scores indicated a movement towards disagreement with the questions, which generally suggest that management of patients with low back pain should involve rest rather than activity)
