NCT01352832

Brief Summary

The investigators propose a two-year group randomized trial of physician practices to test the effectiveness of an interactive DVD that presents a culturally appropriate communication training program for patients called "How To Talk To Your Doctor (and Get Your Doctor to Talk to YOU!)" in promoting safe prescription and use of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the outpatient setting (HTTTYD-NSAIDs). The outcome of interest is safer use of NSAIDs as reported by patients. The aims are to: Aim 1. Develop an interactive DVD (How To Talk To Your Doctor about NSAIDs, HTTTYD-NSAIDs) that presents culturally appropriate "stories" through which a viewer can learn risk factors for adverse effects related to NSAIDs; and communication behaviors for talking about NSAIDs with their doctor. Aim 2. Conduct a group-randomized trial to test the following three hypotheses about the effectiveness of the interactive DVD in promoting safer use of NSAIDs: Hypothesis 1: Intervention group patients will be more likely to report that they had a conversation with their doctor about safe NSAID use than control group patients. Hypothesis 2: Intervention patients will report significantly fewer risky NSAID ingestion behaviors (e.g., concomitant use of OTC and prescription NSAIDs) than control patients. Hypothesis 3: There will be no difference in the intervention's effectiveness between African American and White participants.
