Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
There is an epidemic of thyroid cancer that is harmful to patients and the medical system. The study hypothesizes that the use of an electronic conversation aid during clinical visits can help patients and clinicians collaborate when deciding the next step in management for a thyroid nodule. The study aims to update a conversation aid prototype that was developed to support shared decision making in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. This entry (Aim 1) has an associated study (Aim 2) registered under NCT04463719
