Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objectives • To examine how provision of medical information (risks, benefits, time toxicity, prognosis, oncologists' recommendation, and costs) affects preference for palliative systemic therapy in participants with advanced cancer.

Secondary Objective

• To examine how different options of medical information (risks/benefits, time toxicity, prognosis, oncologists' recommendation, and costs) affect preference for palliative systemic therapy in participants with advanced cancer.

Exploratory Objective

* To examine how the order of presentation of medical information affects preference for palliative systemic therapy in participants with advanced cancer.
* To examine the association between intrinsic participants characteristics (such as participants demographics, symptoms, anxiety, depression, illness understanding, acceptance, coping strategies, religious coping, hope, decision making style, trust in oncologist, financial distress) and preference for palliative systemic therapy in participants with advanced cancer.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Randomized Case Vignette Study

If participants agree to take part in this study, participants will complete about 16 questionnaires that will have questions about participants quality of life, anxiety, health, and case scenarios that are not real or based on your actual health situation. It should take a bit more than an hour to complete all the questionnaires. If participants find that any of these questions are difficult to read, understand, or otherwise complete; or if they cause distress, participants may ask the study team for clarification, skip the question, or even stop the study at any time.

Additionally, information will be collected from participants medical record about participants health and treatment, as well as participants demographic information (age, race, sex, and so on). Investigators may also ask participants for additional demographic information not found in your medical record.
