The investigator will verbally explain the purpose of the study using a script (provided with this packet) and obtain verbal consent from the patient. The questionnaire will be handed to the patient with instructions on how to complete it. The investigator will remain available in the room to address any concerns regarding the questionnaire and to time how long the patient takes to complete the survey. When the patient has completed the questionnaire, the investigator will review it for completeness with the patient. The patient's participation in the study ends at this time. |
