Brief Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) has a major impact on mobility, disability and loss of productivity of patients. Patients can become disabled early in life by OA. The Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) is concerned to publish guidelines with the respective levels of evidence on the various forms of treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee and hip.It is believed that an education program has a positive impact on quality of life of patients with OA. Changing the habits of those patients is imperative for clinical improvement. The investigators propose the creation of an educational program consisting of various health professionals so that we can educate the patients about OA disease, and their role in treatment. This program will be administered in a single day and reviewed/reinforced after an interval of time. Half the patients will be monitored monthly by phone when questions specific to each health area will be made to participants. This way we will evaluate the strength of the telephone follow-up. The investigators are going to create educational printed an audiovisual materials for patients, so the patients can access the information given in the theoretical course at home. Calculation of cost-effectiveness and presentation of data to the authorities.
