For their study, researchers conducted interviews with patients and used the resulting knowledge to develop an educational booklet. The educational booklet was then tested for effectiveness. A total of 436 patients were randomized to either receive the educational booklet or the usual instructions for bowel preparation before a colonoscopy. Results of the study showed the booklet increased the odds of good preparation by 3.7 times.
