Potential role of cost and quality of life in treatment decisions for arthritis‐related knee pain in African American and Latina women

Arthritis Care & Research May 02, 2020

Gaskin DJ, Karmarkar TD, Maurer A, et al. - Researchers aimed at ascertaining whether Latina and African American women with arthritis‐related knee pain and primary care providers who treat them believe that further information on the impact of treatment on their quality of life, medical care costs, and work productivity, would benefit their treatment decisions. They conducted 4 focus groups of Latina and African American women over age 45 years who had knee pain and 2 focus groups with primary care providers who treated Latina and African American women for knee pain. The use of a decision‐making tool that provided information of the impact of treatment on quality of life, medical care costs, and work productivity, was endorsed by minority women and primary care providers. Per observations, a decision‐making tool that provides them with significant information may aid Latina and African American women to make more informed treatment decisions for their knee pain.
