The research questions that this proposal addresses include: 1. Can an interactive, web-based COPD course be developed to disseminate evidence-based, best practice recommendations to primary care clinicians? 2. Can assessment tools be developed to evaluate the impact of the program on clinician behavior in clinical practice and on patient care?
