The Physician's Role in Health Promotion — A Survey of Primary-Care Practitioners
Abstract
Although evidence that people can do much to promote their own health is growing, the role of the primary-care physician in helping patients change their health behavior is still problematic. At least one study has examined what physicians do to promote their own health.1 Little is known, however, about the extent to which physicians promote the health of their patients, their success in helping patients change their behavior, or the types of training and support services physicians believe they need. This study examined the health-promotion beliefs, attitudes, and practices of a representative sample of primary-care physicians in Massachusetts.MethodsThe . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
