Official title
Effects of a Prospective Thinking Intervention on Delay Discounting in Patients With Hormone-Responsive Breast Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
One factor that limits the effectiveness of adjuvant hormone therapy for breast cancer is medication nonadherence. Adherence to long-term medication regimens requires valuation of temporally distant outcomes. Thus, interventions that improve valuation of the future, a phenomenon known as delay discounting, may improve medication adherence in breast cancer treatment and improve survival. This study will investigate the acute efficacy of a prospective thinking intervention (episodic future thinking) for reducing delay discounting and improving valuation of future health in breast cancer patients. Patients will engage in either episodic future thinking or a control condition during completion of delay discounting tasks in which they choose between immediate and delayed outcomes.
