To 1) quantify practitioner activities of the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (Network) for which Continuing Education (CE) credits were received (study training, videos, webinars, meetings, and symposia); 2) quantify practitioner coauthoring Network publications and presentations; and 3) test whether practitioner characteristics were associated with participation in these activities.
A retrospective analysis of 4361 practitioners who enrolled in the Network between April 12, 2012 and October 12, 2018.
Overall, 59% (n = 2586) of practitioners earned CE credit from the Network; among these, 68% (n = 1757) from a video, 38% (n = 993) attended an annual Network meeting, 31% (n = 798) due to training for a Network clinical study, 9% (n = 226) attended a national symposium, and 7% (n = 170) participated in a Network webinar. Members of 2 large group practices earned on average more CEs than practitioners from other practice settings. Four percent (n = 159) of practitioners coauthored a Network presentation or publication. Practitioners who received their dental degree before 2000, were general practitioners, or were members of 2 large group practices, were more likely to have coauthored a publication or presentation.
This Network used a broad range of activities to engage community practitioners. These activities were successful in sustaining a high level of practitioner engagement in clinical research and its relevance to everyday clinical practice.
1）量化国家牙科实践为基础的研究网络（网络）的从业者活动，这些活动获得了继续教育（CE）学分（研究培训、视频、网络研讨会、会议和研讨会）；2）量化从业者合著者网络出版物和演讲；3）检验从业者特征是否与参与这些活动有关。
对 2012 年 4 月 12 日至 2018 年 10 月 12 日期间注册网络的 4361 名从业者进行回顾性分析。
总体而言，59%（n=2586）的从业者从网络获得 CE 学分；其中，68%（n=1757）来自视频，38%（n=993）参加了年度网络会议，31%（n=798）是因为网络临床研究培训，9%（n=226）参加了全国研讨会，7%（n=170）参加了网络网络研讨会。2 家大型实践集团的成员平均获得的 CE 比其他实践环境中的从业者多。4%（n=159）的从业者合著了网络演讲或出版物。在 2000 年之前获得牙科学位、是全科医生或来自 2 家大型实践集团的从业者更有可能合著出版物或演讲。
该网络采用了广泛的活动来吸引社区从业者。这些活动成功地维持了从业者对临床研究及其与日常临床实践相关性的高度参与。
