J C Banks1, J G Howie.   

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effects of a health education leaflet on the number of general practice consultations for the symptoms of cystitis. Seventy women with symptoms of cystitis were recruited into two groups, only one group received health education leaflets. Twenty-nine per cent of patients who received leaflets re-consulted within 40 weeks from presentation compared with 66% of patients who did not receive leaflets (P < 0.005).
