Abstract
Summary— A survey was run on a sample of 134 French GPs from the Rhône‐Alpes region, in an attempt to investigate the way they recollect important clinical trials that should have an impact on their practice. It was found that 1) most of them did not remember these trials (however, the awareness score did vary throughout the trials); 2) the correlation between prescription claims and awareness score was very poor.Keywords
