A video-based educational pilot for @entity1491 ( XXXX ) treatment: A randomized controlled trial.

@entity1 @entity1491
INTRODUCTION: Several treatment options exist for uncomplicated @entity1491 . Standardized and effective informed consent is difficult in busy dermatology clinics. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether an educational video depicting 3 treatment options for uncomplicated @entity1491 -excision, electrodessication and curettage, and topical therapy-before standard in-office informed consent affected @entity1 knowledge and consent time compared with standard in-office consent alone. METHODS: @entity1 were randomized to receive video education plus verbal discussion (video) or standard verbal discussion alone (control). Both groups completed baseline and final knowledge assessments. The primary outcome measure was change in knowledge scores between groups. Secondary outcomes were @entity1 satisfaction, physician satisfaction, and informed consent time. RESULTS: In all, 32 eligible @entity1 (16 control, 16 video) from an academic institution and affiliate Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center dermatology clinics participated. The video group had significantly greater gains in knowledge compared with the control group (mean      SD: 9      3.6 vs 2.9      2.2) (P  =  .0048). There was no significant difference in total consent time between groups. @entity1 and physicians were highly satisfied with the video. LIMITATIONS: Small sample size and slight methodological difference between recruitment sites are limitations. CONCLUSION: Video-based education for @entity1491 improved @entity1 knowledge with no  additional physician time when compared with standard communication.
