The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the value of educational information given on an iPad about the risks and benefits of lupus medications. The information is intended to encourage conversations between the patient and doctor about lupus treatments. This research will test the feasibility and effectiveness of using the iPad in lupus clinics nationwide. Participants will be given information about lupus treatments on an iPad during the clinic visit before seeing their doctor and will be interviewed about the feasibility of using the iPad during a regular clinic visit.
