Linda Bryant discusses gout, a chronic long-term condition that is often associated with other diseases, and with drug-related morbidity and mortality. As such, it needs to be addressed holistically as part of the psychosocial medical model.
Let's talk gout
Note: This educational resource is not intended as a treatment guide for gout; any clinical decisions regarding treatment remain the responsibility of the clinician.
Our Let's talk gout video demonstrates use of the three-step Ask, Build, Check health literacy model, through an acted discussion between a prescriber and a patient. The purpose of the video is to show how the ABC model can be incorporated into discussions about the long-term management of gout, to help improve outcomes. Throughout the video you'll see learning moments pop up, highlighting different steps of the model, as well as other important lessons to note.
