User Experience Interviews:

Consent Statement, English

My name is [NAME] and I work for a company called ICF. ICF is a consulting firm that is working with the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to evaluate different prostate cancer screening decision aids and their ability to help men aged 55-69 years decide whether to get a PSA test.

The purpose of this interview is to better understand whether CDC’s Talk to Nathan About Prostate Cancer Screening helps men make decisions about the harms and benefits of prostate cancer screening that are in line with their values and preferences. Specifically, we want to know whether this interactive decision aid is useable, accessible, acceptable, and we also want to discuss barriers or challenges found when using the decision aid.

This information, along with the data collected via patient and provider surveys, will help us answer our research questions and meet study objectives to determine the effectiveness of the interactive decision aid versus a standard decision aid or education materials in helping men make a decision on whether to get screened for prostate cancer.

The interview should take about 30 minutes. There are no right or wrong answers. We are just looking for your honest opinions and perceptions.
