Health Behavior Clinical Trial
Official title:
Measuring Anticipated Attitudes and Behavior Towards a New Medical Treatment in Lesotho
The primary research objective is to examine how uncertainty towards a new medical treatment changes in patients when a partner (can be any close other, i.e. romantic partner, family member, or a close friend) supports the new treatment choice and is willing to be involved in the patient's treatment. I hypothesize that when the patients know that their partner supports uptake of the new medical treatment and will physically accompany them to the visit, patients will (1) experience lower levels of uncertainty and (2) report a higher likelihood of participating in a new treatment in the future, as compared to patients who face the decision about the new treatment alone.
Host trial: Uncertainty survey experiment This study uses a survey experiment with a hypothetical scenario (vignette) to test the concept of uncertainty and the impact of partner involvement in a hypothetical new medical treatment in patients seeking healthcare in the Butha Buthe district hospital. Specifically, this host trial will be a single-blinded randomized survey experimental design. This means that there will be two versions of the vignette and participants will be randomly given only one version (1:1 allocation). The participants will not be made aware that there is a different version of the vignette but the researchers will be aware of which version the participant receives. The difference between the vignettes (called behavioral manipulation) is whether or not the partner endorses the hypothetical new medical treatment related to the patient's current illness. See the Study measures Section for the specific vignettes. Study Within a Trial (SWAT): Impact of the researcher's attire on recruitment rates Within the host trial, the nested study on researcher's attire will take place as a "Study Within A Trial" or SWAT. SWAT is an increasingly recognized method of research that aims to improve the research methodology within an existing trial. The SWAT on researcher attire will take place in the recruitment phase of the host experiment with day-based cluster randomization between white coat versus casual attire assignment. These attire assignments will be given along with the given week's recruitment assignments to the two Basotho research assistants who will work on the host trial. The nested study does not impact the procedures of the survey experiment. Researcher's attire during recruitment will remain the same throughout the survey delivery until the end of the participant's study visit. ;
