Overview

The purpose of this mixed-methods study is to determine Adolescent and Young Adult (AYAs) decision making preferences post cancer diagnosis using vignettes designed to assess their preferred involvement in decisions about their cancer treatment and variables associated with these treatment decision-making (TDM) preferences.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Clinical Decision-Making Scenarios and Preferences Assessment
    Participants complete a socio-demographic questionnaire and decision-making preferences scale, including hypothetical clinical scenarios, to identify their preferred decision-making role (active, collaborative, or passive) and the influence of providers or family. Delivered electronically via secure link; reminders sent as needed.

Primary outcome measures

  • Distribution of Decision-Making Roles in Clinical Scenarios [Time frame: Within 2 weeks of survey link delivery]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
  • Association Between Sociodemographic Characteristics and Decision-Making Role [Time frame: At time of electronic survey completion]
  • Concordance Between Interview Responses and Scenario-Based Decision-Making Roles [Time frame: At time of interview, within 4 weeks of survey completion]
  • Correlation Between Healthcare Encounters and Decision-Making Role Preference [Time frame: At time of interview, within 4 weeks of survey completion]
