What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Clinical Decision-Making Scenarios and Preferences AssessmentBehavioural
Participants complete a socio-demographic questionnaire and decision-making preferences scale, including hypothetical clinical scenarios, to identify their preferred decision-making role (active, collaborative, or passive) and the influence of providers or family. Delivered electronically via secure link; reminders sent as needed.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| AYA Decision-Making Role Assessment | Experimental | Participants will complete an electronic socio-demographic questionnaire followed by a set of hypothetical clinical decision-making scenarios to assess preferred decision-making roles and involvement of healthcare providers and family/friends. Responses will inform understanding of facilitators and barriers to shared decision-making. Receives: Behavioral: Clinical Decision-Making Scenarios and Preferences Assessment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Distribution of Decision-Making Roles in Clinical Scenarios
Proportion of participants who select an active, collaborative, or passive role in hypothetical clinical decision-making scenarios. Each role will be counted and compared across participant subgroups.
Measured: Within 2 weeks of survey link delivery
Secondary outcomes (3)
Association Between Sociodemographic Characteristics and Decision-Making Role
This outcome assesses the association between sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, gender, education level, and employment status) and adolescents' and young adults' preferred treatment decision-making role. Role preference (active, collaborative, or passive) is assessed using the modified Control Preferences Scale. Sociodemographic variables are self-reported via electronic questionnaire. The unit of measure is the chi-square test statistic or ANOVA output, depending on the variable type.
Measured: At time of electronic survey completion
Concordance Between Interview Responses and Scenario-Based Decision-Making Roles
Proportion of interview responses that align with or differ from role preferences identified in hypothetical scenarios. Qualitative responses will be coded and categorized into roles for comparison.
Measured: At time of interview, within 4 weeks of survey completion
Correlation Between Healthcare Encounters and Decision-Making Role Preference
This outcome measures the correlation between the number of cancer-related healthcare encounters and adolescents' and young adults' preferred treatment decision-making role. Healthcare encounters will be abstracted from the electronic health record and include clinic visits, procedures, hospitalizations, ICU stays, and emergency department visits. Decision-making role preference (active, collaborative, or passive) will be assessed using the modified Control Preferences Scale. The unit of measure is the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Measured: At time of interview, within 4 weeks of survey completion
