“…These links can be for direct advice on patient care but are also useful to discuss case studies in the abstract that may help a given practitioner with clinical decision‐making in the future. As a technique it was reported in three studies 35,50,51 . All three studies reported significant changes in knowledge or practice or outcomes.…”

“…This, however, may be a consequence of the databases used in our search. Nonetheless, within the health-related trials, an extremely broad selection of research domains can be observed, including, for example, HIV [42], asthma [43], hand hygiene [44], prostate cancer [45] and water contamination [46]. Moreover these trials have been conducted in a wide array of countries across Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa, with the UK and USA accounting for the most, 20 studies each.…”

BackgroundThe stepped wedge (SW) cluster randomized controlled trial (CRCT) design is being used with increasing frequency. However, there is limited published research on the quality of reporting of SW-CRCTs. We address this issue by conducting a literature review.MethodsMedline, Ovid, Web of Knowledge, the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, the ISRCTN registry, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched to identify investigations employing the SW-CRCT design up to February 2015. For each included completed study, information was extracted on a selection of criteria, based on the CONSORT extension to CRCTs, to assess the quality of reporting.ResultsA total of 123 studies were included in our review, of which 39 were completed trial reports. The standard of reporting of SW-CRCTs varied in quality. The percentage of trials reporting each criterion varied to as low as 15.4%, with a median of 66.7%.ConclusionsThere is much room for improvement in the quality of reporting of SW-CRCTs. This is consistent with recent findings for CRCTs. A CONSORT extension for SW-CRCTs is warranted to standardize the reporting of SW-CRCTs.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13063-017-1783-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…It is recognised that simple dissemination of information is insufficient, and more complex initiatives are required to effect change. 8 The range of backgrounds of our respondents suggests a need for accessible forms of information extending across traditional professional boundaries.…”

A web-based questionnaire, comprising 11 multiple choice questions, tested the knowledge of visitors to the General Practice Airways Group (GPIAG) online summary of the British Asthma guideline. On average, the 413 respondents answered less than half the questions correctly. GP scores were significantly lower than practice nurses. Improving clinicians' knowledge of asthma is a prerequisite for improving management.
