Summary

The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of a brief 3 to 5-minute educational video on influencing intent to change behavior regarding potentially harmful over-the-counter (OTC) NSAID use in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure (HF), and/or hypertension (HTN). Informed by the COM-B model of behavior change, the video reviews identifying OTC NSAIDs, potential risks of NSAIDs, and general alternatives to potentially harmful NSAIDs. Participants with CKD, HF, and/or HTN identified as regular OTC NSAID users will be randomized to the VIDEO or CONTROL group. They will complete surveys immediately and 4 weeks after viewing the VIDEO or CONTROL to assess actual NSAIDs use, intent to change behavior related to NSAIDs use, capability/opportunity/motivation to change behavior, pain, and barriers to decreasing OTC NSAIDs. Findings will inform future population health initiatives to reduce potentially harmful OTC NSAIDs use.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, or high blood pressure who regularly use over-the-counter NSAIDs. It aims to see if a short educational video can change their behavior and reduce the use of these potentially harmful medications.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether a brief educational video can influence people with certain chronic conditions to reconsider their use of over-the-counter pain relievers known as NSAIDs. Participants are randomly assigned to watch the video or be in a control group without it.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves watching an educational video, there are no direct medical side effects associated with typical drug trials. However, participants may experience changes in how they manage pain based on the information provided.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: VideoExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
An original brief 3 to 5 minute educational video, covering themes such as: defining OTC NSAIDs and their uses, potential harms of NSAIDs, and broad general alternatives. Will involve suggestion to speak to their healthcare provider.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
A static image of a standardized FDA warning label for OTC NSAIDs covering themes such as: uses of OTC NSAIDs, potential harms of NSAIDs, and suggestion to speak to their healthcare provider.
