ResearchResearch and Professional BriefMulti-School Collaboration to Develop and Test Nutrition Computer Modules for Pediatric Residents
Section snippets
Methods
The content for the computer modules was provided by faculty physicians of the Department of Pediatrics and a clinical dietitian/master’s candidate. The University School of Informatics team developed a single, standardized interface for all of the modules. Each module was designed to be completed in approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Content for each module included an overview of the topic, background, physiology, treatment or management, and parent education. The nutrition content was reviewed,
Results and Discussion
The study began with 47 enrollees: 23 subjects in the control group and 24 subjects in the study group. The study ended with nine drop-outs (19%), four subjects from the control group and five from the study group, leaving a total of 38 subjects, 19 in each group. The resulting groups after dropout were not significantly different in terms of age, sex, or ethnicity, but differed somewhat in level of medical education. The study group had two more postgraduate first-year subjects and two fewer
