Taylor 2006.
Methods | Randomized to print DA versus video DA versus wait list control | |
Participants | 98 + 95 + 92 African American men with no history of prostate cancer to consider prostate cancer screening | |
Interventions | Print DA: clinical problem; outcome probabilities; guidance (list of questions to ask at next appointment); others' opinions Video DA: clinical problem; others' opinions Wait list comparator: no information provided until 1 month postrandomization (baseline assessment for this group coincided with 1‐month assessment of print and video arms) |
|
Outcomes | Prostate cancer screening intention (baseline and 1 month; not reported), prostate screening uptake (1 year; not included because wait list received intervention before 1 year) process variables including use and perception of the intervention materials (1 month), prostate cancer knowledge (baseline and 1 month post), decisional conflict (baseline and 1 month post), satisfaction with screening decision (baseline and 1 month post) | |
Notes | No primary outcome reported; not found in trials registry | |
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information related to random sequence generation |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to judge allocation concealment |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to judge blinding; however, participants were requested to not share intervention materials with others to prevent contamination between groups (p 2180) |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to judge blinding of outcome assessment |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Does not appear to be missing any outcome data |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | No protocol registered or published |
Other bias | Unclear risk | "All participants were mailed $25 for their participation following completion of the 1‐month interview" (p 2181) "Men who reported that they had not yet had a chance to read/watch the materials were given an additional week to do so and called again to complete the follow‐up assessment" (p 2181) |
