Conditions
Summary
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.

Interventions
Interviews will be conducted by experienced qualitative researchers from the UNC Connected Health for Applications \& Interventions (CHAI) Core. The interview will be conducted over the phone or secure videoconferencing. The interview will be conducted in a semi-structured fashion using an interview guide. However, because the purpose of this semi-structured qualitative interview study is to determine which themes participants identify as important, the exact content of each interview will differ, and the interview guide will be modified as additional interviews are conducted. Interviews will be audio recorded with concurrent notetaking by the interviewer.
