The aim of the GuideGap proejct is to assess the extent to which prescription practices deviate from treatment recommendations and identify factors that may be root causes of existing deviations from treatment guidelines. Specifically, we examine the association between prescription practices and the continuity of care. The research is conducted using a mixed method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
