Syphilis Video Tool to Promote Knowledge and Testing in the ED
- Conditions
- Syphilis
- Registration Number
- NCT00552539
- Lead Sponsor
- Jacobi Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether the "Syphilis and Men" educational video can be a useful tool to increase syphilis knowledge and testing among English and Spanish-speaking urgent care and emergency department patients, regardless of various self-reported characteristics that increase their risk for syphilis infection.
- Detailed Description
A randomized four-group intervention-control Solomon design was implemented with Group 1 participants receiving a pre-test survey, the educational video intervention, and a post-test survey; Group 2 the pre-test and post-test surveys; Group 3 the video intervention and a post-test survey; and Group 4 the post-test survey. This design was selected to assess the effect of the video in increasing syphilis knowledge while controlling for the influence of the pre-test instrument in potentially sensitizing participants to key facts. A computer-generated randomization list was created and used to assign patients to groups.
