DESIGN Focus groups. SETTING A large, urban centre and a rural community hospital. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-four of more than 150 family physicians who subscribed to an e-mail discussion group. METHOD Qualitative survey of four focus groups, analysis of transcripts and researchers' notes. MAIN FINDINGS Four themes characterized participants' preferences for disseminating preventive CPGs on the Internet: content expectations; quick, easy access to information; trustworthiness of information; and implications for clinical practice. CONCLUSION Physicians want quick, easy access to trustworthy information. A website for preventive CPGs with these characteristics would be a useful resource. ER -
