| Study objectives | The primary aim of the study is to investigate the short-term effectiveness (six months following intervention) of a previously developed, directly-posted information package, that details contextualised evidence-based recommendations for the management of acute back pain, on the reported behaviour, attitudes and beliefs of a combined sample of chiropractors, osteopaths and musculoskeletal physiotherapists in the UK. Our secondary objectives aims are: 1. To describe patterns of reported behaviour, attitudes and beliefs, within and between professional groups at baseline 2. To identify baseline factors that are associated with a change in reported behaviour of these practitioners (such as demographic data, attitudes and beliefs of practitioners) 3. To make recommendations for future research on implementation strategies in these professional groups |
