The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a randomized control trial evaluating the educational tool for anticoagulated patients.
Participants will be randomized to use new educational materials or current existing educational materials and answer survey questions.
Eligible patients will be randomized using stratified block randomization to control for the type of anticoagulant (warfarin vs. DOAC) and status (naïve vs. experienced) to either the education intervention from Aim 2 or standard of care Data will be collected via online surveys before the intervention, immediately after, and then 3 months after the intervention.
Patients at the University of Utah Thrombosis Clinic will be recruited.

| Control Group: Standard of Care | Behavioral | This will be the current practice for patient education |
|
This will be measured using an adapted version of the Ottawa Decision Aid Acceptability Measures which is a 10-question tool shortened to 5 questions that assess: 1) The way information is presented, 2) Length of the Materials, 3) Amount of information, 4) What was liked, and 5) Suggestions for improvement
| At time of intervention |
| Acceptability - Workflow Disruption | 2 questions to providers asking to rate how much a) the study disrupted their workflow and b) how much the educational tool disrupted their workflow on a scale from 1- Very disruptive to 5 - Not all disruptive. Higher scores are better outcomes | 18 months |
| Acceptability - Satisfaction | Patients and providers will both complete a 5 point Likert scale asking how satisfied they are with the educational materials, with 1 being Very dissatisfied and 5 being Very Satisfied. | 3 months |
| Acceptability - Intervention/Survey Fatigue | 1 question measuring survey fatigue: 1) the length of surveys was a) too long, b) too short, c) just right and the number of surveys that were not filled out/not completed. If the majority of surveys are not completed or started, and the majority of patients answer that the length of surveys was too long, that will indicate high survey fatigue | 3 months |
adapted Cancer Information Overload Scale 5-item scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. Minimum score = 5, maximum score = 20. The higher the score indicates higher information overload.
| 3 months |
| Adherence | Visual Analog Rating Scale (VAS) asks patients to estimate in a specified time period (the 3 months of the study period), the percentage of medication doses that they have taken as prescribed (0-100%) Higher percentage means higher adherence. | 3 months |
| Clinical outcomes | Patients will report the number (if any) of thromboembolic (stroke, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary or systemic embolism), or bleeding events that they have had during the study period. We will also review patient charts to see if there are any reported events in the chart that are not reported by the patient. Bleeding events will be classified into major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) definitions. We will also monitor for any deaths that may occur. | 3 months |
