简要总结
This trial performs user testing of a mobile-friendly patient history collection and genetic education tool to improve healthcare providers' understanding of prostate cancer genetic testing. This trial also compares traditional genetic counseling versus a web-based genetic education (WBGE) tool to provide information about genetic testing to men with prostate cancer. The WBGE tool has educational modules on genetic counseling and testing, as well as a patient history collection tool to help providers learn which patients may carry genetic mutations and may be considered for genetic counseling and genetic testing. The purpose of this research is to use technology to deliver information on genetic testing for prostate cancer to patients to help them decide whether or not to receive genetic testing.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Perform user-testing of an education and patient history collection mobile tool among medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and urologists across study practice settings, including Veterans Affairs to address genetic referral needs (n=10 providers). (Provider-focused) II. Develop multimedia web-based pretest genetic education (WBGE) tool and conduct a randomized trial of traditional genetic counseling (GC) (Arm 1) versus (vs.) WBGE (Arm 2) for informed and timely uptake of genetic testing for men with lethal/predicted lethal prostate cancer (PCA). (Patient-focused)
OUTLINE:
AIM I: Providers attend an interview over 1 hour to discuss how they would use the tool, then receive the tool to test in their clinic for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, providers discuss their experience using the tool over 10-15 minutes. Providers have the option to use the tool for up to 6 months and complete a brief survey about the benefits and limitations of the tool for patient identification in Arm II.
AIM II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

结局指标
主要结局
User Testing of the Provider Tool - (Aim I)
时间窗: Up to 6 months
Provider perspectives will include: (1) whether the target population can use the tool in the way it was intended (i.e., to perform patient history collection to determine consideration for germline testing), and (2) interaction with this tool affects the user's cognitive representation of genetic testing for prostate cancer (PCA). To evaluate the first point, will collect initial information from participants regarding their experience with the guidelines for genetic testing and how they collect data on family history. Will evaluate participants' mental model for germline testing and how they identify suitable candidates before interaction with the tool. Will use a cognitive concept mapping technique, which can be used to formalize a person's cognitive representation for complex topics. Feedback from this testing will be used to iteratively refine the tool while it is being used by providers to identify patients randomized trial in Aim II.
Decisional Conflict (Aim II)
时间窗: Up to 6 months
Will be assessed for non-inferiority between study arms. Evaluated using the O'Connor decisional conflict scale, which captures sub-scores over 16-questions for uncertainty, feeling of being informed, values clarity, support, and effective decision making on a 5-point Likert scale
