Optimizing Surgical Decisions in Young Adults With Breast Cancer
This study aims to improve how young women with newly diagnosed breast cancer (Stage 0, 1, 2, or 3) make decisions about surgery. It's testing a web-based tool called CONSYDER, which provides information and helps you talk with your surgeon. Researchers want to see if CONSYDER reduces confusion or difficulty in making surgical choices before your operation. The study is open to women aged 18-44 who speak English or Spanish. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status, but plans to enroll about 800 participants.
- Study design
- This study is a multi-site cluster randomized trial involving approximately 800 women. It uses a stepped wedge design where sites will gradually begin using the CONSYDER tool.
- What's involved
- You would complete surveys approximately one week before your surgical consultation and again about six months after surgery. If you receive chemotherapy before surgery, you'll also complete a survey after that treatment but before surgery.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be surveyed approximately six months after surgery.

What this trial measures
- Pre-surgical decisional conflict as measured by the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS)pre-surgery
The Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) includes 5 subscales (uncertainty, informed, values clarity, support, effective decision). Each item is rated on a scale of 0 (strongly agree)-4 (strongly disagree). Scores range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating more decisional conflict.
