Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the sum score of the Clarity of Personal Attitude dimension of the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS). In addition to the descriptive evaluation of the target variable, its analysis is carried out by means of group comparisons (nonparametric comparison: van elteren test) between the two study groups in which the stratification of randomization is taken into account. Missing values in the primary outcome are replaced by multiple imputation. | — |
