Summary

This two-arm, parallel group randomized controlled trial will assess the impact of written social norms messaging (i.e., behavioral 'nudges') on healthcare organization administrators' decision to access online resources that support the adoption of evidence-based healthcare delivery practices. The healthcare delivery practices include the use of population screening tools, clinical practice guidelines, and shared decision making training.
