Are we wasting time in out-patients departments?

F J Matthews et al. Public Health. 1991 May.

Abstract

Patients and people accompanying them to out-patient departments face an inevitable wait. We investigated the time people have to wait and if they would be interested in health education during that period. We discovered that patients want health education in the form of both videos and leaflets, but not posters. Patients and those accompanying them are particularly interested in heart disease and its prevention.
