In this study, we aim to assess patient, their partner, and provider understanding of a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). An electronic survey investigating respondent's knowledge of the key clinical features of PCOS will be distributed to patients with PCOS and their partners, as well as to attending and resident physicians from various specialties and medical students. We believe that this study will highlight areas of clinical confusion to patients and areas where providers can improve upon counseling and patient education regarding features of the disease. We also believe that this study may highlight disparities in knowledge and understanding of key clinical features of PCOS among various providers, potentially highlighting an opportunity for improved training and education among physicians at various levels of training.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
