One of the first initiatives of the new NHS research and development strategy is the funding of the Cochrane Centre to prepare and disseminate systematic reviews of evidence based practice. This assumes that doctors will use them. Obstetrics was the first specialty to have access to such reviews with the Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials. This has been available on computer disk for four years, is updated every six months, and contains meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials in perinatal medicine. This study ascertains current awareness and use of this database.Methods and results We conducted a telephone survey of all 24 teaching hospitals and 74 of the 173 district hospitals in England. Of the district general hospitals in each of the 14 regional healthauthorities, at least a third (a minimum of four) were sampled. One of us (SP-B) interviewed either the administrative contact of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (in 83 of the cases) or a suitablecolleague (always a consultant; in 15 cases) with a standardised questionnaire between February and May 1993. Interviewees were aware that their responses would not be attributed to individual hospitals or doctors. All the nominated consultants were successfully contacted, and when this required multiple attempts the interviewee was not forewamed ofour purpose.
