Summary

This trial tests how well an intervention helps patients set goals to improve their medical treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 who are new or existing patients scheduled to see an orthopaedic surgeon for knee issues. It's not open to those unable to consent, non-English speakers, or anyone less than a year out from prior spine, hip, or knee surgery.
What is being tested?
The study tests a goal development intervention that helps patients set and track specific and measurable goals for their knee treatment. The effectiveness of this personalized approach will be evaluated.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve setting and tracking treatment goals rather than medical procedures or drugs, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be psychological impacts related to goal attainment success.
