Multiple choice questions will be used to assess information related to the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, including knowledge of various medications, their mechanisms of action and side effects, and recommended dosage of vitamin D supplementation. The participating physicians will also be asked about their sources of knowledge acquisition and how they keep updated on this topic, as well as their self-evaluation of knowledge. Furthermore, background information will be collected, including professional and demographic characteristics. A questionnaire previously used in other studies will be adapted for the study based on the 'Updated approach for the management of osteoporosis in Turkey: a consensus report'.
