Of 344 physicians who attended continuing education, 197 provided 6-month follow-up data indicating that 66% of practice changes they committed to were completed. A significant correlation between number of changes made and amount of time allocated to that content in the course was found. Commitment to change statements as a means of course evaluation were recommended. (SK)
