Surveys of health professionals typically have low response rates, which decreased in recent years. We report on the methods used, participation and study time for 11 national questionnaire studies dentists conducted from 2014–2022. Participation rates (87%–25%). Concurrent with this decrease was a intensity practitioners were recruited. higher when postal mail invitation paper options used (84% vs. 58%, p < .001). Completion nearly twice as high that recruited waves than those did not...

Medical professionals have access to a broad range of resources address clinical information needs. While much attention is given new sources data such as those available on the internet, it less clear how clinicians choose between peer-reviewed research literature and other publication-based sources. This analysis distinguishes possible drivers publication type preference (namely, practice setting, advanced training, professional development experiences). Dentists enrolled in National...
