PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Candidate: Deborah Kaye, MD, MS is a urologic oncologist and junior health services researcher focused on improving the outcomes for patients with cancer. Dr. Kaye’s long-term goal is to become an independent surgeon-scientist with expertise in quantitative and qualitative research methods, an in- depth understanding of provider decision-making and intervention and clinical trial design, in order to devise, evaluate and implement effective health care policies to improve the lives of patients with cancer. Research Context: Numerous systemic therapies have recently been approved for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, demonstrating modest improvements in median survival fromtwo to five months. Unfortunately, little is known regarding which therapies, or combinations of therapies, are most effective. What is known, however, is that each option differs significantly in route of administration, side effects, and price. Currently, treatment for advanced prostate cancer varies significantly based on provider specialty and location, and patient race and income. With sparse comparative effectiveness evidence, treatment recommendations rely heavily on physician preference and experience, which likely contributes to differential patient outcomes and payment disparities. Economic and non-economic drivers of provider decision-making remain a critical knowledge gap in advanced prostate cancer. Moreover, few interventions exist to decrease the out-of-pocket payments, and therefore potentially improve outcomes for patients with advance prostate cancer. Specific Aims: 1) To determine the factors contributing to provider decision-making for initial choice of systemic therapy for advanced prostate cancer. 2) To develop a cost-transparency intervention to decrease patient OoP payments for advanced prostate cancertreatment. 3) To pilot test the feasibility, acceptability, usability and initial signals of efficacy of a cost-transparency intervention. Research Plan: Dr. Kaye will use qualitative research methods (focus groups, patient and provider interviews) to determine the factors impacting provider decision-making and type of first-line systemic therapy received, and use iterative intervention design to devise a cost-transparency intervention to lower patient out-of-pocket payments and improve outcomes for patients with advanced prostate cancer. Finally, this proposal will test the feasibility, acceptability, usability and initial signals of efficacy of the cost-transparency intervention with a two- arm randomized pilot trial Career Development Plan: In parallel with the outlined research plan and under the guidance of experienced mentors, Dr. Kaye will develop expertise in: 1) provider decision-making; 2) qualitative research methods; 3) intervention and clinical trial design.

项目摘要/摘要 候选人：医学博士Deborah Kaye是一名泌尿科肿瘤学家和初级卫生服务研究人员 改善癌症患者的结局。 Kaye博士的长期目标是成为独立 具有定量和定性研究方法专业知识的外科医生科学家，对 提供者的决策，干预以及临床试验设计，以设计，评估和实施 有效的医疗保健政策可以改善癌症患者的生活。 研究背景：最近已批准了许多全身疗法用于治疗高级 前列腺癌，表明中位生存率从两个月到五个月进行了适度的改善。很遗憾， 关于哪种疗法或疗法组合最有效，知之甚少。已知的 但是，每个选项都在管理途径，副作用和价格方面显着区分。现在， 高级前列腺癌品种的治疗可显着基于提供者的专业和位置以及患者 种族和收入。由于比较有效性证据很少，治疗建议很大程度上依赖 物理学的偏好和经验，这可能有助于患者的差异和付款 差异。提供商决策的经济和非经济驱动力仍然是一个关键的知识差距 晚期前列腺癌。此外，很少有干预措施可以减少自付费用，并且 因此，可能会改善前列腺癌患者的预后。 具体目的：1）确定促成提供商决策的因素，以最初选择全身选择 晚期前列腺癌的治疗。 2）开发成本透明干预以减少患者OOP 高级前列腺取消的付款。 3）试点测试可行性，可接受性，可用性和初始性 成本透明干预效率的信号。 研究计划：Kaye博士将使用定性研究方法（焦点小组，患者和提供者访谈） 确定影响提供者决策和收到一线系统治疗的类型的因素，以及 使用迭代干预设计来设计成本透明的干预措施，以降低患者自付费用 付款和改善晚期前列腺癌患者的预后。最后，该建议将测试 具有两种成本透明干预效率的可行性，可接受性，可用性和初始信号 手臂随机飞行员试验 职业发展计划：与概述的研究计划同时，并在经验的指导下 导师Kaye博士将在：1）提供商决策中发展专业知识； 2）定性研究方法； 3） 干预和临床试验设计。
