- Original description
The prevalence of gout has been steadily increasing over several decades and is correlated with the rising burden of obesity, chronic cardiac and renal disease; all conditions overrepresented in the Southeastern U.S. - particularly in African Americans. Through a novel post-emergency department visit intervention, we aim to improve the care patients with gout receive, both during acute exacerbations and long-term. A secondary goal of the project is to concurrently enhance participation of minorities in biomedical research in the Deep South.Read full original descriptionShow less

A secondary goal of the project is to concurrently enhance participation of minorities in biomedical research in the Deep South.
