Improving Care for Gout in the Southeast Enhancing Gout Minority Patients Care and Participation in Gout Clinical Research
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Storytelling for Gout. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 200 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
The prevalence of gout has been steadily increasing over several decades and is correlated with the rising burden of obesity, chronic cardiac and renal disease; all conditions overrepresented in the Southeastern U.S. - particularly in African Americans. Through a novel emergency department led intervention we aim to improve the care patients with gout receive, both during acute exacerbations and long-term. A secondary goal of the project is to concurrently enhance participation of minorities in biomedical research in the Deep South.
