Impact of Pre-Operative Web-based Breast Cancer Information on the Quality of Patient Decision-Making

This is a prospective randomized control trial to compare the impact of two different types of pre-operative web-based breast cancer information on the quality of patient decision making. Patients are emailed web-based information prior to the surgical consultation. Outcomes are assess at multiple time points: 1) prior to the surgical consultation, 2) immediately following the consultation.

  1. Knowledge using the Breast Cancer Decision Quality Instrument

    Time frame: immediately prior to the surgical consultation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Decisional concordance using the Breast Cancer Decision Quality Instrument

    Time frame: immediately prior to the surgical consultation

  2. Perceived communication with the breast surgeon using the Breast Cancer Decision Quality Instrument

    Time frame: following the surgical consultation but prior to the surgery

  3. Breast surgeon and staff (nurse, mid-level provider) assessment of how the web-based decision aid versus standard high-quality breast cancer websites influenced their patient interactions, based on Practitioner Opinion Survey

    Time frame: at completion of patient accrual, estimated to be 2 years after initiating study
