Digital education for osteoporosis patients to see if it lowers fracture risk

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter randomized trial tests whether a digital education program for osteoporosis patients (DEOP) reduces clinical fractures among adults over 65 who have been prescribed osteoporosis treatment after a DXA scan. The study also evaluates whether DEOP improves medication adherence, reduces injurious falls, enhances physical activity and diet, and boosts quality of life. Participants are recruited from osteoporosis clinics across nine centers in Sweden and are randomly assigned to receive DEOP in addition to usual care or usual care alone. The primary outcome is the incidence of clinical fractures; secondary outcomes include adherence, falls, diet, activity, and health-related quality of life. The intervention uses accessible online educational materials via www.1177.se as part of standard osteoporosis care.
