Measuring Anticipated Attitudes and Behavior Towards a New Medical Treatment in Lesotho

University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland·observational·Posted Feb 7, 2024·Updated Nov 18, 2024

In Brief

An observational study evaluating Partner support, Formal recruiter attire, and 2 other interventions for Health Behavior and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 475 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The primary research objective is to examine how uncertainty towards a new medical treatment changes in patients when a partner (can be any close other, i.e. romantic partner, family member, or a close friend) supports the new treatment choice and is willing to be involved in the patient's treatment. I hypothesize that when the patients know that their partner supports uptake of the new medical treatment and will physically accompany them to the visit, patients will (1) experience lower levels of uncertainty and (2) report a higher likelihood of participating in a new treatment in the future, as compared to patients who face the decision about the new treatment alone.
