Evaluating the Impact of Evidence-based Information About Mammography on Breast Cancer Screening Decisions
October 17, 2023 updated by: McMaster University
McMaster Choices Study: Evaluating the Impact of Cancer Screening Patient Decision Aids on Breast Cancer Screening Decisions
Patient decision aids are tools that help guide individuals through a healthcare-related decision making process.
They help users combine evidence-based information and recommendations by a health care provider with their personal needs, values and preferences.
Through this project, Dr. Dobbins and her research team will explore whether the use of patient decision aids with high-quality and user-friendly summaries of research evidence, or summaries of research evidence alone, help to improve the quality of decision making by women facing breast cancer screening decisions.

Detailed Description
Guidelines for breast screening in Canada are based on low-moderate quality evidence of effectiveness and screening is associated with potential harms.
Patient Decision Aids (PDAs) are tools that assist users to understand treatment options, risks and benefits to align decisions with values and preferences.
The investigators would now like to know whether use of a PDA alongside evidence-based information provided through the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal, or simply access to evidence-based information alone, can help users to make informed decisions about breast cancer screening in women.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Evidence only
The same evidence-based information as group 1 (Evidence + PDA), but without the PDA to quantify the effect of accessing evidence through the Portal alone
|
Evidence-based information on mammography such as blog posts, plain language evidence summaries and web resource ratings (quality-appraised online resources).
|
Sham Comparator: Attention control
Information on how to distinguish high from low-quality health information, not specific to cancer screening or PDAs
|
Educational information not specific to mammography or cancer screening
|
Experimental: Experimental: Evidence + PDA
Evidence-based information on mammography such as blog posts, plain language evidence summaries and web resource ratings (quality-appraised online resources), plus a blog post on PDAs and the relevant decision aid from the Portal database

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Decisional Conflict Scale
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6-mo
|
A validated scale in which items are summed and scored to create a total score.
Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher decisional conflict.
|
Change from baseline to 6-mo

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Screening behaviour
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6-mo
|
Congruency between self-reported screening status and stated decision
|
Change from baseline to 6-mo
|
Decision quality
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6-mo
|
Decision Quality Worksheet for Mammography

Preparation for Decision Making Scale
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6-mo
|
A validated scale, items are summed and scored to create a score of 0-100.
Higher scores indicate higher preparation for decision making
