Questions and interpretation of results of the graphical modelling

QuestionInterpretation of result
1Was a lower score associated with making the dimension a priority?Yes, it did significantly for four dimensions, use of guidelines (p=0.005), clinical information (p=0.016), prescribing (p=0.035) and patient information (p=0.046) out of 11, and one other, significant events (p=0.078) approached significance
2Is prioritising associated with change?No evidence for this
3Does intervention between meetings lead to change?There was evidence for this in two dimensions, patient information (p=0.025) and significant events (p=0.044)
4Does the anticipation of interventions between meetings affect prioritising?There was evidence for this in two out of 11 dimensions, use of guidelines (p=0.015) and patient information (p=0.048)
5Is practice size associated with prioritising?No evidence for this
6Is size associated with change?No evidence for this
