Abstract
This qualitative study evaluates registered dietitian nutritionists' (RDNs) use of evidence-based dietetic practices (EBDPs) by education level and years of experience. Interviews were conducted with bachelor's and master's-trained RDNs (n = 9). The following themes regarding EBDP were identified: (1) resources utilized, (2) personal utilization and perceptions, (3) barriers and areas for improvement, and (4) collaboration. It was noted that master's-trained RDNs were more knowledgeable regarding EBDP resources. While it was reported that EBDP had improved with experience, those further from their didactic training had less awareness of EBDP resources. Continuing education should aim to bridge this gap in knowledge among RDNs.
