    EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATIONAL TECHNIQUEDESCRIPTIONHOW TECHNIQUE WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE PROGRAM
    Needs assessmentConduct a needs assessment to maximize relevance37Video was created in response to previously published needs assessments that demonstrated the necessity of improvement in this area1–7,14–17
    Commitment to changeEmphasizing opportunity for change and soliciting commitment predicts actual change in practice37Video was concluded by highlighting changes that could be implemented in a clinic immediately
    Multimedia and multifacetedMultimedia and multifaceted educational components have been shown to be more effective than a single educational component such as a video by itself36,37Additional resources mentioned in the video (posters, checklists, practice audit forms, and articles) were published on the program website
    InteractionInteraction takes many forms, including active reflection on gaps in performance or skills practice37Video strongly encouraged active reflection on gaps in performance (practice audit) and skills practice (mock codes)
