Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Physical Therapists - CPGExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cross-sectional stepped wedge design with 16 physical therapy clinics (including approximately 40 physical therapists) being allocated to one of 4 sequences that differ in CPG implementation time (each sequence consisting of 4 clinics). This proposed study will be conducted over 68 weeks, with the initial 12 weeks serving as a baseline washout phase (before any clinic has received training), then 4 clinics crossing over from standard care (control) to CPG and decision support tool implementation (intervention) approximately every 8 weeks until week 44 when all 4 sequences (16 clinics) have completed training.
