Abstract

A controlled trial of 70 occupational health physicians and 55 insurance physicians who were asked to answer one out of four ‘occupational disease casevignettes’ following the steps of evidencebased medicine EBM The intervention group were given the search strategy as a toolThe intervention group scored significantly better than the control group in answering the main question of the casevignette correctly 57 versus 37 using more adequate search terms The intervention group scored significantly better regarding satisfaction with the applied search strategy 28 very satisfied versus 8 We found no differences in time spent in solving the case or in the intention of future practice of EBMThe introduction and application of specific search strategies can have a positive effect on the effectiveness of searching literature Future initiatives for developing and testing specific search strategies in the field of occupational health should be encouraged
