Patient Preferences for Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Cancer Screening Tests

Patient Preferences for Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Cancer Screening Tests: A Discrete Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis


Sponsor

University of Colorado, Denver

Enrollment

556 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study plans to learn more about what patients think about screening for esophageal cancer (EAC) and Barrett's esophagus (BE); a pre-cancerous condition associated with esophageal cancer. The plan is to use this information to modify screening practices in the United States with the goal to decrease the number of people who die from esophageal cancer.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at what screening tests patients prefer when it comes to detecting Barrett's esophagus — a condition where the lining of the food pipe changes, increasing the risk of esophageal cancer. Understanding patient preferences can help design screening programs that more people will actually use. **You may be eligible if...** - You are willing to sign the consent form and follow study procedures - You have 3 or more risk factors for Barrett's esophagus, such as: being over 50, having chronic heartburn (GERD), being male, being white, smoking, being obese, or having a family history of Barrett's or esophageal cancer **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable to give consent - You have already been diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus or esophageal cancer - You have a serious illness that limits your life expectancy - You have active dementia or significant cognitive impairment - You are currently incarcerated Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALPatient survey

To assess patient preferences and barriers for attributes of BE/EAC screening modalities patients will complete a survey evaluating 5 domains: benefit of detection (sensitivity), convenience (time, setting), screening related physical harms (procedural discomfort), and financial harms. Prior to distribution, the survey will be refined and pretested among a sample of 5 patients.
