What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Visual Communication ToolBehavioural

    Also called MyCareGorithm

    MyCareGorithm will be used during the patient consultation encounter to explain their disease location and stage, role of radiation, logistics of radiation treatment delivery and sequencing of treatment. MyCareGorithm is an online educational tool that will be displayed to the patient via iPad or Microsoft tablet.

Study groups in NCT06927050
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients (and caregivers) recently diagnosed with cancerExperimentalEnrolled patients will receive a tool during the patient consultation encounter to explain their disease location and stage, role of radiation, logistics of radiation treatment delivery and sequencing of treatment. Following the encounter, a survey will be provided. If patients are accompanied by a caregiver(s), they will also receive a survey.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of "Satisfied" Patients

    Patients will take a 9-item survey assessing satisfaction with the intervention. Each item is rated as "Yes" or "No." The total score is the sum of "Yes" responses; patients with 6 or more "Yes" answers out of 9 questions are defined as "Satisfied" patients.

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of "Satisfied" Caregivers

    Caregivers of patients (if applicable) will take a 10-item survey assessing satisfaction with the intervention. Each item is rated as "Yes" or "No." The total score is the sum of "Yes" responses; caregivers with 7 or more "Yes" answers out of 10 questions will be defined as "Satisfied" caregivers.

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Percentage of "Satisfied" Providers

    For each patient encountered, providers will take a 5-item survey assessing satisfaction with the intervention. Each item is rated as "Yes" or "No." The total score is the sum of "Yes" responses; a provider with 3 or more "Yes" answers out of 5 questions for a patient will be defined as a "Satisfied" provider for this patient.

    Measured: Day 0
