Developing a Tool for Endometrial Cancer Prevention
This study aims to create an educational tool to help women and their doctors make informed decisions about preventing endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus lining). The tool will focus on using a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), a small device placed in the uterus that releases hormones. We want to understand what women need and value when considering prevention options. You may be able to join if you are an unaffected woman, at least 18 years old, premenopausal, and do not have a history of endometrial cancer. The study will measure your preferences and understanding through questionnaires over about one year. The goal is to develop a web-based tool in English and Spanish to help prepare you for discussions with your doctor.
