Study Overview
Brief Summary
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.

Web-based decision aid
A commercially available web-based breast cancer surgery decision aid
Intervention: Web-based decision aid (Other)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Knowledge using the Breast Cancer Decision Quality Instrument
Time Frame: immediately prior to the surgical consultation
Secondary Outcomes
- Perceived communication with the breast surgeon using the Breast Cancer Decision Quality Instrument(following the surgical consultation but prior to the surgery)
- Decisional concordance using the Breast Cancer Decision Quality Instrument(immediately prior to the surgical consultation)
- 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(at completion of patient accrual, estimated to be 2 years after initiating study)
