Scientific title | |
Study objectives | This study will develop a model of patient information for patients with low back pain, and its impact on the management of low back pain, including self-management: 1. To investigate the effect of giving targeted information to patients on the management of low back pain in primary care, including referral patterns and to describe what information patients currently have, including its source, appropriateness and use 2. To determine what patients perceive they need in terms of information, and how that fits into their existing information framework 3. To establish what information clinicians provide, the reasons for their choice and clinicians perceptions of patients information needs 4. To evaluate the impact of patient information on referral patterns (including self referral) and on patient perceptions of their back pain |
