简要总结
This is a randomized pilot study comparing the impact of the Patient Activated Learning System (PALS) on knowledge acquisition, recall, and decision making about antihypertensive medication compared to an established online health information system (WebMD). We will also compare the two systems with regard to user experience measures such as understandability and trust.
详细描述
Primary research question:
1)Do hypertensive participants who learn about hypertension medication with PALS (intervention) have higher immediate and 1 week knowledge assessment scores than participants randomized to learn the same information via WebMD (control)? The investigators hypothesize that participants in the PALS group will have higher immediate and one week assessment scores.
Secondary research questions:
- Do participants in the PALS group feel more informed to make hypothetical decisions about taking medications compared to participants in the WebMD group?
The investigators hypothesize that participants in the PALS group will be more likely to indicate that they have sufficient information to make hypothetical decisions about taking medications than participants in the WebMD group. 2. Do participants in the PALS group rate it higher on user experience measures such as trust, usefulness, comprehensibility, and adequacy of the information, attractiveness of the site, and level of engagement, than those in the WebMD group? The investigators hypothesize ratings on these measures will be higher in the PALS group compared to the WebMD group. 3. Which questions about antihypertensives do participants consider most important and are the 5 most highly rated questions more likely to be addressed on PALS vs. WebMD? The investigators hypothesize that PALS will address more questions that participants rate as important compared to WebMD.
