About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and clinical practices of general practitioners regarding the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. The study also seeks to identify the main barriers that prevent proper management of the condition. The central hypothesis is that gaps in knowledge and challenges in clinical practice contribute to variations in how general practitioners diagnose and treat H. pylori infection.
