Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1 pre test survey, educational video, post test survey	Other: 'educational video' 'educational video'
No Intervention: 2 no intervention
Experimental: 3 educational video and post test survey	Other: 'educational video' 'educational video'
No Intervention: 4 post test survey

Detailed Description:

A randomized four-group intervention-control Solomon design was implemented with Group 1 participants receiving a pre-test survey, the educational video intervention, and a post-test survey; Group 2 the pre-test and post-test surveys; Group 3 the video intervention and a post-test survey; and Group 4 the post-test survey. This design was selected to assess the effect of the video in increasing syphilis knowledge while controlling for the influence of the pre-test instrument in potentially sensitizing participants to key facts. A computer-generated randomization list was created and used to assign patients to groups.
