The EBPRAC list server was established to promote information exchange and discussion between the program evaluation team and the projects. The list server email address is: ebprac_list@mailman.uow.edu.au. There were 46 emails sent to the list server between March 2008 and December 2010. As of December 2010, the list server had 54 members. After some initial activity the use of the list server petered out as other communication channels became established e.g. between the program evaluation team and individual projects, between DoHA and individual projects, between individual projects.
Two more list servers were set up to facilitate information exchange and discussion between Round 2 projects related to palliative care and behaviour management (ebprac_palliative@mailman.uow.edu.au and ebprac_behaviour@mailman.uow.edu.au). The behaviour management list server had 16 members in total, but was never used.
The palliative care specific list server was created on 17 June 2009, with 18 members. Since that time it has been used 16 times. Although it was anticipated that the list server would be used by projects primarily to share tools and resources that have been used and/or developed by each project, it was mainly used in the lead up to EBPRAC Palliative Care Workshop held in July 2010, to communicate about the logistics of the workshop.
