About this study
In plain language
This study asks health care providers about a tool that predicts the course of breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Through interviews, researchers will learn if the tool is useful, fits providers’ needs, and is easy to use. The study is for providers with experience caring for these patients in the United States.
I this qualitative study, Investigators will conduct semi-structured interviews with clinicians that are involved in the care of patients with breast cancer to evaluate the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility/usability of a metastatic breast cancer-specific prognostic tool. These interviews will be conducted by the UNC CHAI Core and will continue until thematic saturation (estimated 10 participants). The investigators will code the qualitative data using emerging themes, guided by a well-established implementation science theory, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The information gained from these studies will inform an implementation approach to increase the usability and acceptability of a novel prognostic tool to assist oncologists in the prognosis of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
