title: [Feasibility test of a new guideline--results of qualitative research with general practitioners].
abstract: Feasibility testing of new guidelines for general practice is part of the German Academic Society of General Practice's evaluation procedure. The 'low back pain guideline' was evaluated by a qualitative method that included a focus group discussion. Even when GPs agreed to guideline recommendations, this method revealed emotional and cultural barriers to implementation on the part of both doctors and patients.
