Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators community based resource center has implemented visit preparation by prompting patients to write down their questions. This is a proven approach to increasing the number of questions and concerns that patients voice during their visits with doctors. The resource center's usual practice is to provide their visit preparation intervention, called Consultation Planning, through in-person counseling sessions. This study asks whether telephone delivery of Consultation Planning would be almost as effective in terms of increasing patient's decision self-efficacy, or confidence in their ability to navigate decisions effectively with their physicians. The study also asks about the cost-effectiveness of telephone delivery compared to in-person delivery. The investigators are answering these questions through a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial with two arms: in-person versus telephone delivery of Consultation Planning. The investigators are measuring self-reported psychological outcomes such as decision self-efficacy (primary outcome), preparation for decision making, anxiety, and distress, along with economic outcomes such as health resource utilization and willingness to pay. The investigators hypothesize that Tele-CP can be delivered at a lower patient and resource center cost than in-person CP, and that it will be as effective in terms of impact on a patient's decisional self-efficacy.
