Comparative Effectiveness of Encounter Decision Aids for Early-Stage Breast Cancer Across Socioeconomic Strata
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Option Grid and Picture Option Grid for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 571 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
What Matters Most is a study that aims to determine how best to help women of lower socioeconomic status make high-quality decisions about early stage breast cancer treatments. What Matters Most will be comparing two decision aids used in the clinic visit to usual care (what normally happens in the clinic). The first decision aid (Option Grid) presents evidence-based information about lumpectomy and mastectomy in a tabular format using text only. The second decision aid (Picture Option Grid) presents evidence-based information about lumpectomy and mastectomy using pictures, pictographs and simplified text. What Matters Most aims to show that the interventions can reduce disparities in decision-making and treatment choice between women of high and low SES.

Interventions
The Option Grid(TM) encounter decision aid for early stage breast cancer surgery is a one-page, evidence-based summary of available options presented in a tabular format.
The Picture Option Grid was derived from the Option Grid for early stage breast cancer. It uses the same evidence and integrates images and simpler text, thus exploiting pictorial superiority. The Picture Option Grid has been specifically designed for women of lower SES and low health literacy.
