title: [Knowledge of good clinical practice among Danish physicians. A questionnaire study among hospital-employed physicians in the Copenhagen area].
abstract: To investigate knowledge of current requirements concerning clinical research among researching physicians, and to compare this knowledge among physicians in different research areas, a survey based on twenty-two questions was sent to 1000 hospital physicians in the Copenhagen area. Forty six percent and three hundred and four of these were used for further analysis. Eighty-two percent of the physicians replied that they had knowledge of GCP, nevertheless only 24% were able to recognize the meaning of the terms "monitor", "investigator" and "SOP". When asked about six different fictitious situations concerning making reports to an Ethical Review Board, only 33% replied correctly to all reporting situations. A frequent distinction was seen between physicians who respectively had or had not co-operated with the pharmaceutical industry for trials of medicinal products during the past three years.
