Evidence of poor performance in the evaluation and management of common geriatric conditions suggests the need for changing physician behavior in these areas. Traditional lecture‐style continuing medical education (CME) has not been shown to be effective. Expert faculty initially trained 60 nonexpert peer educators to conduct small‐group, learner‐centered CME using tool kits on memory loss, incontinence, and depression. Peer educators presented 109 community‐based sessions to 1,309 medical practitioners. Surveys were administered to community participants immediately and 6 months after a session. Evidence of effectiveness included statistically significant increases in self‐reported knowledge, attitudes, and office‐based practices on the target topics at the time of training and at the 6‐month follow‐up (P<.001) and two‐thirds of respondents reporting continued use of three or more tools at 6 months. Participants reported that the interactive presentation aided their understanding of and ability to use the tool kits more than an off‐the‐shelf review (mean rating±standard deviation 4.1±0.71, with 1=not at all and 5=significantly). After the formal evaluation period, additional information about the project dynamics and tool kits was obtained through a small interview sample and an on‐line survey, respectively. Receiving copies of the tool kits was an important factor in enabling educators to offer sessions. Barriers to offering sessions included finding time, an audience, and space. Findings suggest that modest positive changes in practice in relation to common geriatric problems can be achieved through peer‐led, community‐based sessions using principles of knowledge translation and evidence‐based tool kits with materials for providers and patients.
