Abstract
Five hundred and thirty surgeons were contacted using a blinded questionnaire to determine the educational sequelae of a randomized prospective study. The participants were chosen randomly to represent three distinct variables: (1) those involved with the original study, (2) those who heard the study results presented, and (3) surgeons who would be interested in the subject (colon trauma) but without controlled exposure or participation. While response varied, it was clear that behavior modification was most affected by involvement with a randomized study as a participant. Source recognition, despite evidence of changes in practice patterns, was low among nonparticipants, suggesting that the dissemination of study results occurs without conscious effort or remembrance of procedural methodology.
