Purpose: Which sources? Why? Future uses? Qualitative study (survey, diaries, semi-structured
interviews)
Sample of 35 from a group of 300 junior physicians (2-3 years at work)
User Profile-Occupation Group
Findings:
Web 2.0 sources are used by junior physicians up to 3 times more than best practice sources (textbooks, PubMed, PDR, etc.)
Reasons for using Web 2.0◦ Familiarity◦ Highly Accessible◦ Fast◦ More up to date
Can quickly cross-check information
User Profile-Occupation Group
Findings(cont.):2 types of need:
◦Immediate problems (closed questions)◦Background information (open questions)
3 factors that could improve effectiveness of Web 2.0 tool in a clinical setting:◦Use with patients◦Awareness training◦More access to tools at work
