SELF-FRAX
Summary
Three out of four people at increased risk of fracture don't receive treatment, largely because this risk goes unidentified. A strategy that can raise awareness of increased fracture risk would lead to an improvement in the prescribing of osteoporisis treatments. The SELF-FRAX study will start to develop such a strategy by focusing on patient-centred, interactive approaches, devised with the involvement of patients and the public, to improve the quality of fracture risk information GP electronic health records.
