This study aimed to describe changes in EBP confidence and behavior of students from four physical therapy education programs throughout their curriculum.\n\nSubjects Two hundred sixty-nine physical therapy students were recruited across 4 PT programs (3 in US and 1 in Canada).\n\nMethods Students completed the Evidence-Based Practice Confidence (EPIC) Scale and the Evidence-Based Practice Implementation Scale (EBPIS) at 6 timepoints: start of the program, prior to first clinical experience, after first clinical experience, at the end of classroom instruction, graduation, and one year post. Medians (Mdn) and 25th and 75th percentiles (P25, P75) were calculated for 42 (23.2%) students with complete data across all timepoints. Change between timepoints was assessed using Friedman's test and Wilcoxon signed rank test with a Bonferroni correction for post hoc analysis."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Participants will be enrolled in masters (University of Toronto) or doctorate physical therapy programs (Rutgers, Sacred Heart and Chatham).
