Primary Care Providers and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Needs Assessment Survey.

Our survey revealed PCPs need and want strategic approaches to NAFLD. We found PCPs lack confidence in diagnosing NAFLD and are inconsistent in management strategies. PCPs had high awareness of the importance of fibrosis, but not of the FIB-4. It was encouraging that PCPs reported that time was not a major barrier and had positive attitudes toward potential practice support tools, indicating that practice guidelines designed for primary care should be created.
