Abstract
Authors' response to commentaries.
We were pleased to see that our previous research on the levels of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-specific knowledge in health care professional groups (HCP) [Vernon-Roberts A, Blay L, Day AS. Knowledge levels about inflammatory bowel disease vary between healthcare professional groups. Dig Dis Sci. 2024;69:410–418. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10620-023-08191-x] has prompted commentary [Weidner J. IBD: who knows best? Dig Dis Sci. 2024;69:324–325. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10620-023-08193-9; Li L. IBD knowledge differs among HCPs: education matters. Dig Dis Sci. 2024. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10620-024-08646-9]. This work has built upon the development and validation of the IBD-knowledge inventory device (IBD-KID)-2 tool, as cited in our original HCP paper.
