    Introduction

    Popular beliefs about back pain have remained more positive in Victoria since the end of the media campaign three years ago. This was again seen across the whole distribution of baseline back beliefs, indicating that these views may now be the accepted norm and less effort may be required to maintain this position and achieve long term behavioural change.4 5 However there has been some decay in the observed effect between surveys 3 and 4. Top-up reminders or other strategies may be necessary to maintain improvements over time.

    Contributors: Both authors designed the further evaluation of the campaign, did the analyses, interpreted the results, and wrote the paper. RB is guarantor.

    Funding: Victorian WorkCover Authority.

    Competing interests: None declared.

    Ethical approval: Monash University ethics committee.
