Representativeness of PBRN Physician Practice Patterns and Related Beliefs: The Case of the AAFP National Research Network
Annals of Family Medicine, 11/10/09

Galliher JM et al. – Response rates to the surveys ranged from 53% to 59% for AAFP members and 60% to 72% for the American Academy of Family Physicians National Research Network (AAFP NRN). The most consistent differences in demographic comparisons were for percentage of time spent in patient care, practice location, practice type, and census region. Bivariate comparisons found the groups differed on 8 (12%) of 66 clinically relevant survey items, with the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons reducing these items to 4 (6%). These comparisons were followed by multivariate analyses of outcomes that were found statistically significant at bivariate level. The AAFP NRN and AAFP membership differed on several demographic characteristics, but network members were overall more representative than not of the AAFP active membership in their self–reported clinical behaviors and related beliefs.
