Summary

The prevalence of gout has been steadily increasing over several decades and is correlated with the rising burden of obesity, chronic cardiac and renal disease; all conditions overrepresented in the Southeastern U.S. - particularly in African Americans. Through a novel post-emergency department visit intervention, we aim to improve the care patients with gout receive, both during acute exacerbations and long-term. A secondary goal of the project is to concurrently enhance participation of minorities in biomedical research in the Deep South.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Patient Navigation

A lay patient navigator working will contact patients seen in the UAB ED via phone within \~72 hours following the ED visit. During this initial phone conversation, the navigators will: 1) conduct a baseline assessment to identify barriers to attending an outpatient visit for gout care and to adhering to gout treatment recommendations and 2) determine the level of support and assistance needed by the patient.
