The investigators investigated the use of portable MP3 technology in patient education and informed consent of shave and punch biopsies. Eighty patients were divided randomly into a control and experimental group. Control patients received the standard of care in patient education and informed consent. Experimental patients watched a short 80-second video on shave or punch biopsies. All patients were given pre- and post-education questionnaires to assess the efficacy of each method.
