Question: Family physicians in three health regions were provided with a one-day workshop on the management of hypertensive patients and the need for routine follow-up. At one month, the family physicians knowledge was measured using 20 questions with higher scores indicating higher knowledge. The scores could range from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating higher scores. Scores were obtained from family physicians practicing in urban, rural and academic clinics. At the \[\alpha =0.05\] level of significance, use the Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA test to determine whether the family physicians perform equally well in the knowledge test based on the type of practice location.
