Overview
To develop an educational tool to help patients and healthcare professionals make informed decisions about endometrial cancer and available prevention options for it (such as the use of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system \[LNG-IUS\]).
Description
Primary Objectives
The overall goal of this study is to create a personalized decision support educational tool for the use of LNG-IUS as a primary prevention strategy for women at risk of EC. The decision support tool will not replace the consultation with a clinician. Rather, it will help prepare the participant to better understand their options and prepare them for conversations with clinicians when making a decision about use of LNG-IUS. The primary objectives will be accomplished in two phases:
Phase 1 Primary Objective:
1\. To identify decisional needs, participant values, and experiences for preferences regarding LNG-IUS through a mixed-methods approach
Phase 2 Primary Objective:
1\. To develop and field-test a novel web-based SDM tool in English and Spanish incorporating a personalized EC risk calculator and focused on LNG-IUS as a primary prevention strategy
