Findings

2007/2008 Evaluation Approximately 2500 students and providers enrolled in the program and completed nearly 8000 modules. The largest cohorts of users were medical students (2909 modules) and nursing students (2197 modules). Clinical Tools measured user knowledge, intended behaviors, perceived self efficacy, and attitudes towards treatments in both a pre-module and post-module condition for each user. Every course and cohort indicated a significant improvement in knowledge scores; a 22% passing rate in the pre-test increased to 66% in the post-test. Likertbased assessments of intended behavior and perceived self-efficacy both demonstrated 30% increases in agreement with correct practices. User satisfaction, measured through a 7 question Likert-based assessment, was universally high (4.59 from a possible 5). Perception that the courses met their stated objectives was also high (4.60 from a possible 5).
