Alignment with VA mission and priorities: This study serves the VA's mission of improving the health of Veterans and addresses two priority areas, 1) decreasing health care disparities and 2) improving health care delivery using a low-cost, technology-based solution to poor medication adherence. Study results will lead to a ready-to-implement low cost patient-centered intervention for AA Veterans with gout to improve medication adherence and patient outcomes. This study will provide the proof of efficacy of "storytelling" for improving medication adherence in chronic symptomatic diseases. The "storytelling" intervention can be easily adapted for similar chronic symptomatic conditions such as COPD and CHF.
