Diff = Difference between means, adjusted for outcome at baseline; Reference group is Group 1 n = Number of GPs SD = Standard deviation 95%CI = 95% Confidence Interval. Linear regression was fitted on the mean score for each practice. Nb. One GP in Group 2 did not have baseline information (excluded from the total) Group 1 = Asthma Education + guidelines Group 2 = Guidelines only Group 3 = Alternative (ear, nose and throat) education only | |||||||
