Study Summary
The investigative team will provide 27 slides with bullet points and images of pain referral patterns for different causes (e.g., herniated disc, facet joint arthritis) for patients seen for a new visit with a chief complaint of chronic low back pain. This material is all publicly available but has been compiled in presentation form. This will have educational benefit for patients, discussing clinical signs and symptoms, risk factors and basic treatments. There will also be a smaller control group of that gets a condensed 4-slide presentation. After review of the slides, an independent observer will ask the patient what they think are the 2 most likely causes of their LBP (in order of likelihood) and match that with the attending physician and trainee, who will independently do the same. The investigative team will then determine how concordant the patient's answers are with the physicians and also record outcomes.
Primary Outcome
Concordance (overlap) between the patient's guess at their top 2 diagnoses, and those rendered by the attending physician. The patient's choices include 12 diagnoses (e.g., discogenic pain, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome) while the physician's includes 13 (secondary gain).
