Illness-specific cards--a feasibility study
Abstract
To reinforce and extend advice given at consultations, take-home cards for 12 conditions were devised. They were assessed by 32 general practitioners and 306 patients. The response on the whole was favourable and we suggest that this form of patient education could be helpful in primary care.
