Shared Decision Making for Prostate Cancer Screening: a Practice-Based Randomized Controlled Trial
A study testing You Decide and Reducing Your Risks in the Crash in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by University of North Carolina at 4 sites in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an intervention designed to help men share decisions about prostate cancer screening with their physician results in better decision making, more shared decisions, and changes in intended and actual screening rates. Read more about this study

About this study
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an intervention designed to help men share decisions about prostate cancer screening with their physician results in better decision making, more shared decisions, and changes in intended and actual screening rates.
Read the detailed description
Background: Professional societies recommend shared decision making for prostate cancer screening, however, most effort has been directed at informed rather than shared decision making. In this study, we plan to test the effects of a shared decision making intervention on key components of shared decision making. We secondarily plan to test its effects on the presence of a shared decision, men's intention to be screened, and actual screening rates.
Methods: We plan to conduct two separate randomized controlled trials of shared decision making interventions, one in which the intervention focuses on prostate cancer screening only and one in which the intervention focuses on prostate cancer screening in the context of other men's health issues. Each trial will use the same attention control and identical implementation and measurement strategies to allow combination of data if no differences exist in the effect of the interventions. Trials will include a convenience sample of men with no prior history of prostate cancer who present to their primary care physician for routine care. Men will be randomly assigned to a shared decision making intervention (including a video and coaching session for patients and an education session for providers) or a control group, in which men will receive a video on highway safety. Data on key components of shared decision making and intent for screening will be measured at baseline, after the intervention, and after men's visit with their provider. Additionally, medical charts will be reviewed 9 months later to assess for actual screening.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Men's understanding that prostate cancer screening requires a decision (time frame: baseline, post intervention, post clinical visit). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00630188, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Mar 2008.
