Trial name or title RCT regarding SDM online training andfFace‐to‐face SDM training
Methods RCT
Participants Inclusion criteria
  • Oncologists or physicians treating a significant percentage of breast and/or colorectal cancer patients

  • Internet access


Exclusion criteria
  • No exclusion criteria

Interventions Active comparator: SDM Online Training
Quote: "The intervention consists of a SDM training for oncologists, which is conducted in the form of a web‐based SDM online Training (intervention group I). During training, the oncologists are guided to use decision aids for breast and colon cancer patients in their consultations, which were developed and evaluated in a previous project. The SDM training has the same duration (one session à 120 minutes) in both intervention groups. Doctors in the intervention group receive decision aids for breast cancer and colorectal cancer patients during training. The training contents are based on an already developed, evaluated and published SDM manual. The SDM online training works on the modeling principle."
Active comparator: Face‐to‐Face SDM Training
Quote: "The intervention consists of a SDM training for oncologists, which is conducted in the form of an individualized, context‐based SDM individual face‐to‐face training at the workplace of the participants (intervention group II). During training, the oncologists are guided to use decision aids for breast and colon cancer patients in their consultations, which were developed and evaluated in a previous project. The SDM training has the same duration (one session à 120 minutes) in both intervention groups. Doctors in the intervention group receive decision aids for breast cancer and colorectal cancer patients during training. The training contents are based on an already developed, evaluated and published SDM manual. The individual training works on the coaching principle."
No intervention: Control Group
Quote: "The Control Group receives no SDM Training. All participants of the Control Group will be offered to participate in the SDM Online Training after T2."
