About
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.
Full description
To achieve this goal, patient preferences for BE/EAC screening tests will be evaluated through a prospective multicenter discrete choice-based conjoint survey. Patients will choose between a series of hypothetical options and rank their priorities and what they value according to differences in benefit of detection (sensitivity), convenience (time, setting), screening related physical harms (procedural discomfort), and financial harms. By evaluating relative importance of test characteristics and patient prioritization the study will (1) define patient preferences and barriers for attributes of BE/EAC screening modalities to elicit the overall preferred test as well as differences in each attribute that informed that choice and (2) characterize differences in BE/EAC test preferences by patient sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, race, ethnicity) and by the presence or absence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
