Filename: MN_physician_survey_dataset.csv Data collected to determine Minnesota physicians' access to clinical information from the Survey on the State of Evidence-Based Medicine in Minnesota (survey instrument at:http://hdl.handle.net/11299/201435). B. Filename: MN_physician_survey_codebook.pdf Codebook to accompany dataset that details variables and variable labels, and the associated values and value labels. -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: The survey was distributed to physicians licensed to practice in Minnesota who provided their email address to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. A total of 16,689 physicians were included in the licensing board mailing list; 13,726 provided their email address to the board and were contacted to participate in the survey. Of those, 1,188 individuals (8.7%) responded to the survey, but after consenting, 113 respondents never answered any questions. Those cases were removed from the dataset. 2. Methods for processing the data: The data was collected and exported using Qualtrics. The variable other_resources was answered with open text. The research team agreed upon categories for sorting answers. They are as follows: AAFP, ACOG, ACP Database, APA Alerts, Medscape, and other specific journals were collapsed into Journals and were defined as “Journals, including society websites with journal access” Wheeless Online and other books were collapsed into Books. The Mayo Clinic website, Medline Plus, WebMD, and other health websites were collapsed into Consumer Health / Health Websites. CDC, NIH, NLM/NCBI, and MDH were collapsed into Federal / State Resources. NCCN and other guidelines were collapsed into Guidelines. Google Scholar, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Internet were collapsed into Internet. ClinicalKey, Medline, PubMed, and other databases were collapsed into Databases. Colleagues were grouped into Colleagues / Listservs. ePocrates, Johns Hopkins Antimicrobial Resource, Medical Letter, Red Book, Sanford, and other drug resources were collapsed into Drug Resources. FP Notebook, Pepid, Up to Date, and other point-of-care tools were collapsed into Point of Care. Ask Mayo Expert and library were collapsed into Library. Orthobullets and other CE opportunities were collapsed into Continuing Education. Other tools, calculators, and unfamiliar resources were collapsed into Specialty Resources. The variable strategy_fulltext was answered with open text. The research team agreed upon categories for sorting answers which were relatively straightforward and required less collapsing. All categories are listed in the codebook, but it’s worth noting that library and inter-library loan were collapsed into Library. The variable work_setting was answered with open text. The research team agreed upon categories for sorting answers which were relatively straightforward and required less collapsing. All categories are listed in the codebook, but it’s worth noting that “Other work settings” included insurance company, splitting their time between settings, VA medical center, and various work titles versus locations (administrator, locum tenems, consultant, retired, resident). 3.
