A Priming Intervention to Increase Patient Willingness to Use Injectables for the Management of Psoriasis

"Group #2 (Intervention)~Survey 2 will be administered, and patients will be asked the following primer:~Stelara® inhibits interleukin 23, one of the immune signaling molecules involved in psoriasis. People who are born with a genetic deficiency in the immune signal interleukin-23 are generally healthy, but also have a LOWER risk of getting immune diseases like psoriasis.~How willing would you be to take Stelara® to treat your psoriasis, on a scale of (1 = definitely willing, 2 = probably willing, 3 = probably not willing, 4 = definitely not willing)"

"Group #3 (Intervention)~Survey 3 will be administered, and patients will be asked the following primer:~Stelara® inhibits interleukin 23, one of the immune signaling molecules involved in psoriasis. People who are born with a genetic deficiency in the immune signal interleukin-23 are generally healthy, but also have a LOWER risk of getting immune diseases like psoriasis.~What do you think would be the best way to describe this to a patient?~1. Stelara® acts in an almost all-natural way to help control psoriasis.~2. Stelara® blocks one of the genetic causes of psoriasis.~3. Stelara® makes psoriasis better by blocking the overactive signal that gets the immune system out of balance~4. Stelara® blocks interleukin-23, an important immune system signaling molecule involved in psoriasis~How willing would you be to take Stelara® to treat your psoriasis, on a scale of (1 = definitely willing, 2 = probably willing, 3 = probably not willing, 4 = definitely not willing)"
