Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from the Family Medicine, General Internal Medicine, Orthopedic Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Departments at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona and Mayo Clinic Health Systems in Minnesota and Wisconsin. A short informational meeting was held with providers at their department meetings to discuss the trial including inclusion and exclusion criteria. Social media geotargeted advertisements were posted on Mayo Clinic's Facebook and Twitter pages as well.

5 subjects were enrolled but withdrew prior to randomization.
