Summary View help for Summary
This interventional pilot study was conducted in a primary care clinic to determine if patients would become more engaged in their own health and ask more questions of their physicians if they were provided data about patients similar to themselves. The study was conducted with 150 patients with a diagnosis of hypertension who had scheduled appointments with one of three participating physicians in the clinic. When they arrived at the clinic for their appointment, the patients were shown de-identified clinical data about similar patients with hypertension on a computer screen, given a printout of this information, and then proceeded to visit their physician. After the physician visit the patients completed a short survey. Their answers to the survey questions are recorded in the data file together with additional information about them, such as age, gender, race, smoking status and comorbidities.
The three participating physicians completed a short survey at the end of the study. The results of that survey are summarized in a table provided with the technical documentation.

2016-10-05 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Created variable labels and/or value labels.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
