Twenty-four dietetics and nutrition practitioners varying in their work settings, length of professional experience, education, and community type were recruited through professional contacts in New York State.
The Mann-Whitney U-test was applied when comparing continuous, ordinal and numerical/skewed variables between 2 groups (e.g. gender and length of professional experience).

Our sample was found to be statistically representative of the population in terms of physician age, gender, region and length of professional experience.

In keeping with the maximum variation sampling, we aimed to involve practitioners from every discipline, with different durations of exposure to an iCAHE JC, length of professional experience, educational backgrounds, roles and exposure to other EBP initiatives.
