In episode 8 of season 7 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Removing pathoanatomical content from information pamphlets about knee osteoarthritis did not affect beliefs about imaging or surgery but led to lower perceptions that exercise is damaging and better osteoarthritis knowledge: An online randomized controlled trial” with Dr Belinda Lawford. You’ll hear her give the backstory of what prompted the study, why a group was chosen without symptoms and were given a hypothetical scenario about knee osteoarthritis, specifics on the methods of the study, the important results discovered related to giving more information and including pathoanatomical terms or not, the clinical implications and big takeaways.
