Brief Summary: Our aim is to determine if a patient-directed intervention is more effective than computerized clinician reminders alone for improving aspirin use in adults with diabetes
Detailed Description: Many patients with diabetes do not use aspirin to prevent cardiovascular events Quality improvement initiatives involving both patients and physicians may be more effective than physician-directed approaches alone

In a large urban primary care internal medicine practice this study seeks to test if a patient-directed intervention is more effective than computerized clinician reminders alone for improving the appropriate use of aspirin in adults with diabetes

The study design is a cluster-randomized trial by physician The frequency of self-reported regular aspirin use will be compared between patients cared for by physicians in the computerized reminder alone group and the computerized reminder plus physician-supervised nurse practitioner intervention group
