title: Assessing provider attitudes toward mandated prevention practices.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We measured clinicians' level of knowledge and attitudes regarding Department of Defense-mandated clinical preventive services (CPS) delivery and the barriers they believe prevent the delivery of CPS at a large U.S. Air Force referral medical center.
  
  
  METHODS
  Our survey listed a range of prescribed specific CPS and solicited reasons why providers believed that they could not be delivered.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The overall response rate was 87.4%. Altogether, 91.7% of those responding answered positively when asked if they were aware of specific CPS. Lack of time was the most commonly cited barrier to CPS delivery. Most providers felt that they had the skills necessary to deliver CPS to their patients, yet 84.4% indicated a willingness to receive additional training.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our findings suggest that these providers are willing to deliver CPS to their patients.
