NYU Dataset
Physician Decision-Making During Active Surveillance of Prostate Cancer
UID: 10118
- Description
- This dataset includes structured, in-depth interviews with 24 physicians from diverse clinical backgrounds and geographic areas within the United States. These physicians were identified with purposive sampling strategies. Physicians who reported currently caring for patients through active surveillance were invited to participate. An interview guide was developed based on a literature review and previous research on active surveillance, and interviews were conducted between July and December 2015. Each interview lasted between 22 and 51 minutes and was conducted either in-person or by telephone. Interviews assessed the use of active surveillance for prostate cancer and include questions on the use of specific protocols, how physicians choose the frequency of follow-up tests, opinions on testing options, and comfort levels with active surveillance.
