In all, 114 professionals were recruited from 10 of 189 eligible primary health care centers in the Stockholm County council area. Prior to the study, the professionals provided their verbal consent to participate. They also provided written consent at the case seminar. A total of 48 DNs and 39 GPs (n = 87; 76%) responded both at baseline and follow-up. Managers, DNs and GPs working at 46 of the remaining 179 centers were contacted to recruit the CG. Of the 85 professionals who volunteered to participate in the CG, 36 DNs and 17 GPs (n = 53; 62%) working at 32 primary health care centers took part.
