Interventions for improving patients' trust in doctors and groups of doctors.

Background: Trust is a fundamental component of the patient-doctor relationship and is associated with increased satisfaction, adherence to treatment, and continuity of care. Our 2006 review found little evidence that interventions improve patients' trust in their doctor; therefore an updated search was required to find out if there is further evidence of the effects of interventions that may improve trust in doctors or groups of doctors.

Objectives: To update our earlier review assessing the effects of interventions intended to improve patients' trust in doctors or a group of doctors.
