About this study

The purpose of this study is to review and evaluate the effectiveness of new educational materials (informational booklet \& DVD) that promote participation in genetic counseling among breast cancer survivors.

There are two phases to this study:

Part 1 - reviewing the newly developed educational materials, and Part 2 - evaluating the effectiveness of the newly developed educational materials

Read the detailed description

Part 1: Intervention Development

Aim 1: Develop a psychoeducational intervention (PEI) for high-risk breast cancer survivors about genetic counseling (GC) and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC).

Part 2: Intervention Pilot

Aim 2: Assess the feasibility and acceptability of a PEI from the perspective of the BC patients and health care professionals.

Exploratory Aim 3: Estimate the preliminary efficacy of the PEI compared to standard clinical care. We hypothesize that women in the intervention group will have higher uptake of GC, greater increases in knowledge, and more perceived benefits related to GC compared to the control group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Video and BookletBehavioural

    Printed and DVD materials about Genetic Counseling. Self-reported feedback will be collected and reviewed to compare to the control group response.

  • FactsheetBehavioural

    Patient factsheet about Genetic Counseling. Self-reported feedback will be collected and reviewed to compare to the intervention group response.

Study groups in NCT02451735
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intervention DevelopmentNo interventionPsychoeducational Intervention (PEI) development. PEIs include printed and DVD materials, and represent a commonly used and effective approach to implement theoretically based individual-level interventions. These materials serve as important sources of information for the general public, cancer patients, and survivors from a variety of backgrounds, including populations with limited health literacy. An interview and feedback collection process will take place to provide data to improve current PEI materials.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Part 1: Rate of Initial Survey Responses

    Intervention Development: Rate of feedback of draft materials required to complete a formative evaluation.

    Measured: Up to 8 months

  2. Part 2: Rate of Participation

    Participation in the Psychoeducational Intervention (PEI) group compared to the Factsheet group.

    Measured: Up to 8 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of Impact

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Video and Booklet and Factsheet in people with Breast Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 45 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Part 1: Rate of Initial Survey Responses (time frame: Up to 8 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2019.
