Abstract
Arthritis is a group of diseases that causes joint pain and requires long-term management. 22.5 million adults in the U.S meet criteria for osteoarthritis. 92% of these patients see their primary care physician for OA. Yet, only 6-25% receive care from a specialist. As a result, there is significant patient confusion regarding diagnosis, prognosis, management, and prevention, as well as a lack of understanding of treatment options. Patients have consistently indicated the desire for more information delivered clearly from multiple sources of health information. More effective communication strategies and visual aids are required
