Assessment of Primary Care Providers' Knowledge and Beliefs Regarding Gout Management

We seek to assess the knowledge, beliefs and reported treatment practices of primary care physicians with regard to gout. Specifically, we will: * Assess the knowledge and beliefs with regard to acute and chronic gout management based on published treatment recommendations. * Characterize the individuals who have knowledge deficits in terms of age, specialty, number of patients seen with gout, and practice setting. * Assess the reported treatment practices of primary care physicians for the acute and chronic management of gout.
