This study will test whether, among patients undergoing surgery for peripheral artery disease (PAD), the addition of an online multimedia patient education video to the current education regimen will improve PAD knowledge, activation, and self-care engagement. The study will randomize 150 participants to one of 2 groups: current education regimen vs. current education regiment with video. The primary outcome is stage of self-care engagement. Secondary outcomes are PAD knowledge, self-efficacy, and activation. A subset of participants will also be randomly selected to participate in semi-structured interviews. Study duration for participants is 6 months.
