Improving Preventive Health Services Training in Chiropractic Colleges: A Pilot Impact Evaluation of the Introduction of a Model Public Health Curriculum

The results of this pilot study indicate that there has been no observable impact on intern behaviors toward educating patients in preventive health services since the dissemination of the model public health curriculum at one of the chiropractic colleges in the United States. The impact of this reform in public health education may have been limited by its minimal focus on clinical preventive services and by a focus on didactic rather than a clinically relevant learning exposure.
