NCT01951534

Brief Summary

This is an intervention development and pilot study whose purpose is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the breast reconstruction decisional aid (BRDA) and provide preliminary data on its impact on decisional outcomes. The primary aim of this study is: "Is the intervention trial feasible?" The purpose is to develop a feasible web-based decisional aid (DA) for a larger scale trial. Thus it is important that this trial provide evidence of feasibility. The investigators will define feasibility as the rate of study acceptance and participation. The secondary aim of this study is: " Is the BRDA acceptable and used?" The team will evaluate BRDA acceptability, use, difficulty with internet use, and what factors predict uptake and use. The investigators anticipate that, due to interest in the topic, the majority of women will access the website. An additional secondary aim of this study is: "What is the impact of BRDA on BR knowledge, attitudes about BR, decisional conflict, preparedness and completeness of preparation, anxiety, and discussion with oncologist?" The purpose is to calculate effect sizes for a larger randomized trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Feasibility of a decisional aid to assist women with making the decision to undergo breast reconstruction

    We will define feasibility as the rate of study acceptance and participation. First, we will examine acceptance as determined by consents and completed baselines. Second, we will examine time for completing surveys. We will judge this trial feasible if: 1) the acceptance rate among eligible patients is equal to or greater than 70%. We will judge completion rates at follow-up to be feasible for a larger scale trial if our completion rate is 75%. 2) If the survey length averages are \> 35 minutes, we will deem this unacceptable and shorten the survey.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Acceptability of BRDA

    3 years

  • Impact of breast reconstruction decisional aid on knowledge and attitudes

    3 years

Study Arms (2)

Breast Reconstruction Decisional Aid (BRDA)

EXPERIMENTAL

In the BRDA arm, participants will be provided with a website address for using the Breast Reconstruction Decisional Aid, a secure password, and instructions for using the website for the decisional aid.

Behavioral: Breast Reconstruction Decisional Aid (BRDA)

Usual Care (UC)

OTHER

In the UC Condition, the participant will not be given the web-based decisional aid but will be given the Cancer Support Community pamphlet. This 56-page pamphlet contains information about the types of Breast Reconstruction, lists reasons why women choose reconstruction, key factors to considering when deciding, how to plan for surgery, possible risks, and a glossary of terms. The pamphlet is primarily informational. It is not customized, not interactive.
