Summary

There is an epidemic of thyroid cancer that is harmful to patients and the medical system. The study hypothesizes that the use of an electronic conversation aid during clinical visits can help patients and clinicians collaborate when deciding the next step in management for a thyroid nodule. The study aims to update a conversation aid prototype that was developed to support shared decision making in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. This entry (Aim 1) has an associated study (Aim 2) registered under NCT04463719

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Counseling using the electronic conversation aid	This conversation aid will help you and your doctor discuss ways to care for your thyroid nodule. We will evaluate the acceptability of the conversation aid and barriers to implementation in clinical practice. Post visit semi structured interviews and recordings of the clinical visits will be qualitatively analyzed. We hypothesize that the conversation aid will be accepted and facilitate the decision making process.
