| Control group (n = 36) | Intervention group (n = 27)a | |
|---|---|---|
| Not at all aware, n (%) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
| A little bit aware, n (%) | 1 (2.8) | 0 (0.0) |
| Somewhat aware, n (%) | 3 (8.3) | 1 (3.7) |
| Quite a bit aware, n (%) | 5 (13.9) | 1 (3.7) |
| Very much aware, n (%) | 27 (75.0)b,c | 25 (92.6)b,c |
a
Only 27 of the 28 patients enrolled in the intervention phase completed the post-visit survey.
b
p = 0.07 based on differences between “very much aware” versus all other response categories.
c
Excluding patients who participated in both phases, 90% of intervention patients' physicians were thought to be “very much aware” vs. 75% of control subjects' physicians (p = 0.02).
