Background: Despite a need for better physician pain management education, there are no widely accepted assessment or outcome measures to support this work.
Objective: Create a self-assessment tool to measure physician educational needs and the effectiveness of chronic pain educational programs.
Design: We used expert consensus to draft a 142-item survey that covered essential areas of chronic pain management.
Objective: Determine whether lectures by national experts and a publicly available online program with similar educational objectives can improve knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) important to chronic pain management.
Design: A pretest-posttest randomized design with two active educational interventions in two different physician groups and a third physician group that received live education on a different topic to control for outside influences, including retesting effects, on our evaluation.
Participants: A total of 136 community-based primary care physicians met eligibility criteria.
