2. This research paper demonstrates the potential applications of the MSOD data in relation to workforce planning.  The researchers modelled the independent determinants of intention to enter rural practice and also demonstrated that a predictive index of intention to enter rural practice can be created and monitored over time.

3. This paper explores the potential impact of the MSOD on understanding changes in rural practice intentions by using data from the 2005 pilot cohort.  The linked CMSQ, EQ and Medical Schools Data reports from the 2005 pilot cohort were used to conduct a longitudinal analysis of rural practice intentions.
