About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new counseling tool for patients deciding whether or not to undergo prostate cancer screening. This screening decision aid is a computer program that provides individual patients estimates of their risks of prostate cancer diagnosis, prostate cancer related death, or death from any cause. The researchers are evaluating whether or not patients find this screening decision aid helpful. As part of this study, participants will be asked for their response on questionnaires.

If patients find the screening decision aid helpful, the researchers will make it available at other clinic locations.

Read the detailed description

To conduct a feasibility study on implementing the computer-based screening decision aid for prostate cancer screening in a primary care setting during a 60-minute interview. To aid in informed decision making, the screening decision aid will include a graphical representation of predicted probabilities of prostate cancer diagnosis, prostate cancer-specific mortality, death from competing causes based on a man's unique demographic information. The study team will provide standardized counseling followed by individualized counseling with the screening decision aid. It will assess the quality of the decision making process (patient feels knowledgeable, informed of the risks/benefits, feels clear about their values, is involved in the decision), and quality of the decision.

  • Prostate cancer decision aidBehavioural

    Also called screening decision aid

    Patients will undergo standardized counseling and individualized counseling with the screening decision aid. The screening decision aid is a computer program that provides individual patients estimates of their risks of prostate cancer diagnosis, prostate cancer related death, or death from any cause

Study groups in NCT03387527
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prostate Cancer Decision AidExperimentalThe research intervention will be exposure to the screening decision aid. Patients will receive standardized counseling including population based risks and benefits of prostate cancer screening. Then, patients will be given opportunity to review the screening decision aid prior to offering a decision on whether or not to undergo prostate cancer screening. The patient decision aid will be a computer application that generates predicted risks associated with prostate cancer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of initial interviews completed in 60 minutes

    To be considered feasible in a busy clinical setting, researchers anticipate 80% of the initial interviews to be completed within the allotted 60-minute interview time.

    Measured: 60 minutes from beginning of interview

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Health Literacy

    Five item scale measuring attitudes towards screening

    Measured: 1 month after clinical visit

  2. Patient decisional control preferences

    4 item scale where lower scores indicate more positive outcomes from screening

    Measured: 1 month after clinical visit

  3. Decisional conflict Scale

    16 item scale ranging in a score from 0-4 where higher scores indicate more disagreement

    Measured: 1 month after clinical visit

  4. Multidimensional measure of informed choice

    10 item true/false scale

    Measured: 1 month after clinical visit

  5. Decisional regret scale

    5 item questionnaire using 5 point Likert scales where higher scores indicate more disagreement

    Measured: 1 month after clinical visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prostate cancer decision aid in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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?

Number of initial interviews completed in 60 minutes (time frame: 60 minutes from beginning of interview). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
