Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to clarify whether providing translated evidence summary (Advanced Clinical Evidence (ACE) reports from OrthoEvidence) will increase the access to the summary compared to providing the original version of evidence summary among Japanese orthopaedic surgeons

Description:

The investigators will conduct the survey regarding baseline characteristics, barriers and familiality to evidence-based medicine by online. After the survey, the participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the original version of ACE reports or Japanese version of ACE reports. The pdf of each ACE report will be provided to the participants through an email link. Twenty reports will be sent over 4 weeks period. After that, the investigators will conduct another survey regarding the reports.
