Comparison with previous research
Physical therapists were more willing to follow recommendations that were more detailed (i.e. specified ‘what’ the recommendation was, ‘who’ it was for and ‘why’ it was important) vs. less details (i.e. only specified ‘what’). This aligns with the findings of the content analysis where physical therapists provided feedback on a draft list of the APA's Choosing Wisely recommendations. In this study physical therapists suggested that recommendations need more detail to increase implementation.
