Background The lack of osteoporosis treatment initiation after fragility fractures is a significant gap, especially in primary care. It unclear whether barriers for care physicians (PCPs) arise from uncertainty about investigations, initiation, or medication side effects. Key questions remain active learning platforms improve rates better than passive methods and how PCP demographics affect outcomes. With PCPs increasingly using web-based continuing professional development due to time constraints heavy workloads, an interactive community fracture capture (CFC) tool may serve as effective alternative in-person learning. Our CFC pilot study tested this new program’s design content, showing promising potential. Objective We aim evaluate the interactive, case-based, Learning Hub, examining user acceptance engagement with platform, focusing on participants’ interactions, satisfaction levels, overall experience. Methods Participating are recruited through Praxhub, medical education provide electronic consent data use deidentification. They have been allocated into small groups (12-20 members) join secure community. This hub includes discussion forum participant-contributed case studies knowledge repository. Over 6-week program, participants will receive weekly modules instructions, resources, threads, quizzes, along discussions moderated by experienced physicians. platform also hosts surveys that, combination analytics, allow assessment baseline gaps, level activity engagement, improvements following course completion. protocol demonstrates creation proposed evaluation featuring small-group equipped flexibly scheduled, tailored address gap within Both qualitative (via thematic analysis) quantitative (by 2-tailed paired t tests, Wilcoxon signed rank multivariable regression analyses be used assess levels changes PCPs’ confidence Hub. Results Recruitment started May 2022. Data collection, analysis, reporting completed completion four cycles program. Conclusions described important insights function effectiveness information guide expansion initiative offers simple digital solution promoting current bone health practices needs thereafter expand rollout e-learning implementation liaison models at Australia elsewhere.

JMIR Public Health and Surveillance, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11, P. e66062 - e66062

Background GPFirst is a primary care partnership program designed to encourage patients with nonurgent conditions seek at participating general practitioner clinics instead of visiting the emergency department. In 2019, digital media campaign (DMC) was launched raise awareness and knowledge about among residents in eastern Singapore. Objective This study aims assess DMC’s impact on across different age groups, acceptability satisfaction GPFirst. Methods The DMC, comprising Facebook posts website using Andersen behavioral model, evaluated through 2 repeated cross-sectional surveys. first survey (CS1) conducted Singapore aged 21 years older, 1 year before campaign’s launch, second (CS2) 4 months after. Satisfaction measured 5-point Likert scale (very poor excellent) experiences. Acceptability assessed 3 yes or no questions decisions visit recommend clinics. Analyses used tests proportions, adjusted multiregression models, age-stratified secondary analyses. Results generated 38,404 engagements within 5 months, “#ThankYourGP” being most viewed (n=24,602) engaged (n=2618). Overall, 1191 1161 participants completed CS1 CS2 respectively. Compared CS1, were more aware (odds ratio [OR] 2.64, 95% CI 2.11-3.31; P<.001) knowledgeable (OR 4.20, 2.62-6.73; P<.001). Awareness higher married individuals 1.31, 1.04-1.66; P=.03), those without regular physician 1.79, 1.44-2.22; P<.001), education levels. Similarly, greater 2.88, 1.35-6.17; P=.006) preuniversity 2.56, 1.14-5.70; P=.02), 1.54, 1.02-2.34; P=.04). For acceptability, who visited clinic, 98.2% (163/166) reported they would continue clinic department future, 95.2% (158/166) 60.2% (100/166) cited clinic’s participation as factor their provider’s choice 87.3% (145/166) satisfied Among unaware GPFirst, 88.3% (1680/1903) consider future. Conclusions DMC improved high participants. Age-dependent strategies may improve participation. demonstrated potential user-generated content boost social engagement, strategy that international health systems could adopt.
