Who is the study for?

Group I: Patient NavigationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A lay patient navigator will contact patients seen in the UAB ED via phone within \~72 hours following the ED visit. During this initial phone conversation, the navigators will: 1) conduct a baseline assessment to identify barriers to attending an outpatient visit for gout care and to adhering to gout treatment recommendations and 2) determine the level of support and assistance needed by the patient.
