The purpose of this study is:
- to identify how knowledge about keloid scars and self-treatments differs between
patients who use the Internet as a source of information and patients who do not
- to determine if patients who are at a high risk of developing additional keloid scars
are more or less likely to change their behavior based on an educational information
talk about keloid scar prevention

Primary | To Assess the Impact of an Educational Lecture on Knowledge About Keloid Scars by Comparing Mean Scores Between Knowledge Assessment Questionnaires Administered Before an Educational Lecture and Immediately After an Educational Lecture | All subjects completed a written questionnaire to assess knowledge about keloid scars before an educational lecture about keloids, immediately after the educational lecture about keloids, and 3 months after the educational lecture about keloids. This written questionnaire to assess knowledge about keloid scars contained 19 questions related to risk factors for developing keloid scars, keloid scar prevention, and keloid scar treatment. A correct response to a question was awarded 1 point and all correct responses were summed to achieve a total score. Possible total score ranged from 0 to 19. A score of 0 is associated with worse knowledge about keloid scars and a score of 19 is associated with better knowledge about keloid scars. | immediately before and after a 5 minute educational lecture | No |
Secondary | To Assess the Impact of an Educational Lecture on Long-term Knowledge Retention About Keloid Scars by Comparing Mean Scores Between Knowledge Assessment Questionnaires Administered Before an Educational Lecture and 3 Months After an Educational Lecture | All subjects completed a written questionnaire to assess knowledge about keloid scars before an educational lecture about keloids, immediately after the educational lecture about keloids, and 3 months after the educational lecture about keloids. This written questionnaire to assess knowledge about keloid scars contained 19 questions related to risk factors for developing keloid scars, keloid scar prevention, and keloid scar treatment. A correct response to a question was awarded 1 point and all correct responses were summed to achieve a total score. Possible total score ranged from 0 to 19. A score of 0 is associated with worse knowledge about keloid scars and a score of 19 is associated with better knowledge about keloid scars. | before and 3 months after a 5 minute educational lecture | No |
