Development of a questionnaire for evaluating genetics education in general practice.
Article in Journal of community genetics, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To support developments in genetics education, we constructed the GPGeneQ questionnaire to assess skills required for the practice of genetics by general practitioners (GPs). We describe the process of developing and validating this questionnaire to provide a detailed guide in the construction for questionnaires in the application of evaluating genetics education. The GPGeneQ was developed through a multi-step process with the initial draft based on a theoretical framework and literature review. The subsequent draft instrument contained three scales pertaining to GPs' knowledge, self-reported behaviour and attitudes regarding genetics in medicine. Content and ecological validity were measured by an iterative Delphi process involving experts, GPs and consumers of health services. Piloting to assess construct and criterion validity was conducted with a sample of GPs attending an educational workshop that was presented on a number of separate occasions in Victoria, Australia. Results from evaluations of 145 GPs participating in ten workshops revealed evidence for validity and reliability of the GPGeneQ: knowledge change (p < 0.001; CI, -1.63 to -0.68), behaviour change (p < 0.001; CI, -4.15 to -2.21), attitudinal change (p = 0.002; CI, -2.68 to -0.62). This paper details the procedures involved in developing and validating an assessment questionnaire for genetics education. The GPGeneQ is the first validated questionnaire covering a broad range of topics that is designed to provide a reliable measure for the evaluation of genetics education specifically in general practice. The procedures used are transferable to the construction of any instrument for use in genetics or other medical education.
