Project Abstract/Summary As a health services researcher and Assistant Professor at Temple University, my long-term career goal is to become a leader in preference-based, patient-centered outcomes research to inform decision making for patients with end-stage lung disease, specifically about transplantation decisions. Clinical trials have shown that decision aids improve the quality and efficiency of decision making, improve comprehension and decrease decisional conflict. Despite these benefits, few decision aids have addressed the complexity of lung transplant. A critical barrier to the development of decision aids is the inability to inform and communicate to patients and caregivers the impact of transplant on quality of life (QoL). Thus, to address these knowledge gaps and pursue my long-term career goals, I will investigate patient priorities for QoL outcomes in the context of lung transplant decision making to inform the development of a decision aid. Three Specific Aims will accomplish this objective. AIM 1: Describe priorities for QoL outcomes and their impact on decision making among patients (n=30-40) and caregivers (n=30-40) at each phase of lung transplant, and clinicians (n=10-15). AIM 2: Measure QoL, priorities for outcomes, and willingness to trade between quantity and quality of life among a prospective cohort of patients (n=200) and caregivers (n=200) considering lung transplant using health-related quality of life measures, best- worst scaling tasks, and treatment tradeoff exercises. AIM 3: Develop and assess the feasibility and acceptability of a decision aid among patient and caregiver dyads (n=30) considering lung transplant. To accomplish these aims, I propose a mixed method approach. Qualitative methods include semi-structured interviews conducted in cross-sectional samples across transplant phases (Aim 1). Quantitative surveys and the feasibility/acceptability study will be collected among patients with end-stage lung disease just starting to consider transplant, as well as their caregivers (Aims 2 and 3). A prospective cohort will be followed over time to identify differences across phases of decision making (Aim 2). Although I have had a productive start to my career, I require further training to execute these Aims, accomplish these goals and achieve independence as an investigator. Specifically, I have identified four short-term career objectives. I will: 1) lead a community-engaged research effort inclusive of patients, caregivers and clinicians; 2) design and implement qualitative and mixed methods approaches to collect and analyze patient experience data; 3) obtain formal training in theory of decision making, interpersonal health communication and risk communication; and 4) acquire domain expertise to apply these skills in the context of lung transplant. I have designed a career development plan to achieve these objectives that includes mentorship from a highly accomplished group of researchers who are dedicated to my career development and experts in decision making theory, decision aid design, health and risk communication, qualitative and mixed methods, and lung transplant. These mentors have long histories of extramural funding and mentoring. In addition to mentored instruction, I will complete didactic coursework and intensive professional trainings.

项目摘要/摘要 作为坦普尔大学卫生服务研究员和助理教授，我的长期职业目标是 成为基于偏好、以患者为中心的结果研究的领导者，为以下方面的决策提供信息 终末期肺部疾病患者，特别是关于移植决定的。临床试验表明， 辅助决策提高决策的质量和效率，提高理解力，减少 决定权冲突。尽管有这些好处，但很少有决策辅助工具能解决肺移植的复杂性。 开发决策辅助工具的一个关键障碍是无法通知和沟通患者和 移植对生活质量(QOL)的影响因此，要解决这些知识差距并追求 我的长期职业目标，我将在肺移植的背景下调查患者优先考虑的生存质量结果 为决策提供信息的决策辅助工具的开发。三个具体目标将实现这一目标。 目标1：描述生活质量结果的优先顺序及其对患者决策的影响(n=30-40)和 肺移植每个阶段的照顾者(n=30-40)和临床医生(n=10-15)。目标2：衡量生活质量、优先事项 为了结果，以及在未来的患者队列中在生活质量和数量之间进行交易的意愿 (n=200)和照顾者(n=200)考虑使用与健康相关的生活质量衡量标准进行肺移植，最好- 最差的伸缩任务，以及治疗权衡练习。目标3：制定和评估可行性和可接受性 在考虑肺移植的患者和照顾者双方中的决策辅助(n=30)。要实现这些目标 AIMS，我提出了一种混合方法。定性方法包括在以下地点进行的半结构化访谈 移植阶段的横断面样本(目标1)。定量调查和可行性/可接受性 这项研究将在刚刚开始考虑移植的终末期肺部疾病患者中收集。 作为他们的照顾者(目标2和3)。随着时间的推移，将对预期队列进行跟踪，以确定 决策阶段(目标2)。虽然我的职业生涯有了一个卓有成效的开端，但我还需要进一步的培训 为了实现这些目标，实现这些目标，并实现作为一名调查人员的独立性。具体来说，我 已经确定了四个短期职业目标。我将：1)领导社区参与的研究工作，包括 患者、护理者和临床医生；2)设计和实施定性和混合方法方法以收集 并对患者体验数据进行分析；3)获得决策理论、人际健康等方面的正规培训 沟通和风险沟通；以及4)获得领域专门知识，以便将这些技能应用于 肺移植。我设计了一份职业发展计划，以实现这些目标，其中包括指导 来自一群非常有成就的研究人员，他们致力于我的职业发展和 决策理论、决策辅助设计、健康和风险沟通、定性和混合方法，以及 肺移植。这些导师在校外资助和指导方面有着悠久的历史。除了被指导之外 在指导下，我将完成授课作业和强化的专业培训。
