Abstract
We evaluated the effectiveness of small-group education of general practitioners (GPs) in the management of drug users. A total of 40 doctors were trained. Some 28 doctors who were unable to attend and 30 who did not want training participated as comparison groups. Sixteen months after the education, trained doctors notified significantly more drug users to the British Home Office database and more often prescribed methadone at first consultation with a drug user.
