Summary

The study team is conducting this project to learn more about how patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) like to use and receive educational materials about treatment options and treatment decision making. This study will assess the efficacy of a decision support intervention to make decisions about treatment and disease management for patients with EoE and will assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention to inform future R01-level studies. The study team hypothesize that deploying the intervention will be feasible, and it will demonstrate high acceptability among EoE patients. Additionally, that patients that use the intervention (vs general education about EoE) will report greater treatment knowledge, increased readiness to choose a therapy, adherence to therapy, and follow-up.

Conditions

• Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	General education control	Participants will complete an online survey before reviewing education material for eosinophilic esophagitis, prior to patient's clinical physician's appointment (this appointment is a standard of care visit). Participants will complete a follow-up survey approximately 3 months after the clinic appointment.
BEHAVIORAL	Decision support tool	Participants will complete an online survey before reviewing tailored educational materials for eosinophilic esophagitis prior to patient's clinical physician's appointment (this appointment is a standard of care visit). The intervention is a tailored, electronic decision support intervention with a patient-facing decision aid (DA) with three components-EoE knowledge/education, values clarifications, and communication. Tailored feedback from the patient will be given to the patient's provider prior to the visit to facilitate shared decision-making in the visit. Participants will complete a follow-up survey approximately 3 months after the clinic appointment.
