OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 educational strategies aimed at improving prescribing standards in primary care. METHODS: A pragmatic controlled trial was designed; the study population included general and family practitioners in Galicia (northwestern Spain) divided into 3 study groups: a one-to-one education group (n = 98), a by-group education group (n = 92), and a control group (n = 405). The educational intervention included explicit recommendations for selecting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for inflammation signs. Some of the subjects were given reminders. Mixed-effect linear models were applied to data analysis. Analyses were done by intention-to-treat. The dependent variable is a rate with a numerator that is the number of prescribed units of the NSAIDs recommended during intervention; the denominator is the total number of prescribed units of the NSAID total. RESULTS: One-to-one education obtained an average prescribing behavior improvement of 6.5% (P or = 9 months. Of the 2 strategies followed in the trial, one-to-one education has shown to be the most effective. Results also show that the effectiveness of these interventions increases when presented together with written material
