[Computer-assisted instruction in medicine: a multicenter evaluation study in 7 German language media resource centers].
EVA, a multicentre study of seven computer resource centres (CRCs) in three German-speaking nations, was carried out over a period of six months to gather structural and process data regarding the use of computer-based instruction (CBI) applications in medicine, and to identify the factors contributing to a more successful integration of CBI into the medical curriculum. 618 machine-readable questionnaires from CRC users and seven questionnaires on structural data of the participating CRCs covering 51 computer stations were evaluated. For Macintosh workstations (n = 34), an additional digital log-protocol was analysed. In conclusion, it seems that so far less than 10% of medical students use CBI programs in German-speaking countries. The data show the presently still poor integration of CBI into the medical curriculum.
