Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective way to give patients information regarding hepatitis C virus infection. The investigators plan to compare the information retained by some patients who are given a brochure alone versus patients who watch an interactive video about hepatitis C.
Detailed Description
Subjects will complete 3 questionnaires, including one about knowledge of Hepatitis C. The subject will then either watch a video or read a brochure about Hepatitis C, then take the same questionnaire again. The subject will then return in one month to take the Hepatitis C questionnaire again.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Improvement in Scores on HCV Knowledge Questionnaire
Time Frame: Pre-intervention, Immediate post-intervention, and 1 mo. follow up
The main outcome measure was a change in the mean score on a 25-item HCV knowledge assessment without subscales. The instrument values ranged from 0 to 25 with one point per correct answer to questions directly arising from the information contained in the video. One point was assigned to each correct answer, and an increase in the score indicated more correct responses.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
