Study Description

Brief Summary

The overall goal of this project is to test an interactive, multi-media decision aid in the form of an electronic clinical decision dashboard designed to improve the quality of clinical decision making for initial treatment of patients with newly diagnosed, low or intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

The overall goal of this project is to test an interactive, multi-media decision aid in the form of an electronic clinical decision dashboard designed to improve the quality of clinical decision making for initial treatment of patients with newly diagnosed, low or intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Specifically, we propose to conduct a clinical trial to compare the effects of a prostate decision dashboard versus usual care on:

  1. patient knowledge regarding the treatment options available for low or intermediate risk prostate cancer,

  2. measures of the decision making process including decisional conflict and the extent to which decisions were made via a shared decision making process,

  3. the treatments selected, and

  4. 3-6 and 9-12 month outcome assessments of clinical status, decision regret, cancer-related quality of life including worry, functional status, and treatment side effects.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
No Intervention: Control

No use of the decision aid dashboard before, during or after the treatment decision time period.

Experimental: Dashboard

Use of the decision aid dashboard before, during and after the treatment decision time period.

Behavioral: Dashboard
With the health care provider, subjects will use the decision dashboard to augment the discussion of treatment options.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Increase in KUJ score through education [2 years]

    The use of the dashboard will increase patient knowledge and understanding of treatment options as measured using KUJ questionnaire.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Measure of overall quality and satisfaction with initial treatment decision. [2 years]

    The use of the dashboard will improve the overall quality and satisfaction with initial treatment decisions as measured by a) decisional conflict, b) patient quality of life, and c) post-decision regret, using the PORPUS questionnaire and Decisional Regret questionnaire.
