About this study

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a novel electronic decision aid to improve AML patients' understanding of their illness, prognosis, and treatment options. The objective of our program of research is to ultimately improve understanding about what patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) know and understand about their disease, as well as what kind of information AML patients want or need to further inform them about the treatment decisions they face.

The AML Decision Aid tool consists of ten video modules, approximately 3 minutes each, containing content regarding key areas such as an explanation of what AML is, treatment choices, and things to consider when determining a treatment path. Recruited subjects will complete a series of surveys, both before viewing of the videos and after

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of enrolled subjects who have completed the study

    Time frame: 1 day

    Feasibility will be determined by enrolled subjects who complete the study (including watching all videos, and completing the surveys).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in knowledge about AML after video viewing

    Time frame: Day 1. Pre-video screening and post-video

    Efficacy will be measured by change in knowledge about AML, (including knowledge about the disease itself, and comprehending AML treatment choices and their risks, as measured through changes in AML Knowledge Questionnaire scores)

Other outcomes

  1. Changes in Attitudes Towards Chemotherapy Scale scores

    Time frame: Day 1. Pre-video screening and post-video

    Changes in Attitudes Towards Chemotherapy Scale scores,

  2. Changes in Decisional Conflict Scale scores

    Time frame: Day 1. Pre-video screening and post-video

    Changes in Decisional Conflict Scale scores

  3. Changes in Anxiety Scores

    Time frame: Day 1. Pre-video screening and post-video

    Changes in Anxiety Scores
