Abstract

These data on physicians' use of pediatric vaccine recommendations generally support the awareness-to-adherence model. This model may prove useful in identifying ways to improve physicians' adherence to a variety of guidelines by demonstrating where physicians fall off the path to adherence, which physicians are at greatest risk for not attaining each step in the path, and factors associated with a greater likelihood of attaining each step toward guideline adherence.
