TL;DR
Positive effects provide some hope that the training positively influenced the GP's communication behavior, and further data on physician behavior and patient outcomes justify implementation of the training.
Abstract
If further data on physician behavior and patient outcomes justify implementation of the training, it would then be worthwhile to also involve practice nurses.
