简要总结
There are several benefits of over-the-counter medications, yet there is little research evaluating how to increase patient compliance when a health care provider suggests an over-the-counter (OTC) medication. We are evaluating two types of physician directions to see which increases patient compliance with OTC medications.
详细描述
Researchers will identify a cohort of gynecologic patients presenting for annual examinations and offer participation in the study. Physician researchers will randomize patients to 2 types of physician directions about OTC medications, then follow compliance over the course of the next 7 months. A total of 123 participants in each arm will undergo recruitment, until a total of 246 participants are recruited.
Inclusion criteria include: female, non-pregnant patients presenting for annual gynecologic examinations between the ages of 19-50.
Exclusion criteria include: outside of study age range, patient taking thyroid medication, history of kidney stones, history of hypercalcemia, non-English speaking.
