Can a better lesson plan help blood thinner patients?
NCT ID NCT06138184
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new educational tool helps patients on blood thinners (anticoagulants) better understand their medication. About 68 adults who are new to or currently taking these drugs will use either the new materials or standard ones and then answer surveys. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible by checking how many people join, complete the tool, and stay in the study for three months.
