Experimental Treatment
Group I: Usual care and usual care plus videoExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Phase I (completed 3/31/2021): A sample of patients in phase I will complete a qualitative interview prior to or after surgery. Twenty-five evaluable patients (15 pre-operatively and a separate 10 post-operatively) will be selected to participate in an in-person/phone interview. Phase II: A separate group of women will compose phase II. All patients (N = 100) in phase II will complete discrete-choice surveys. Patients in phase III of the study will be randomized evenly to usual care plus video or usual care only. Phase III: One hundred participants will be randomized via CRDB to receive standard pre-operative counseling or standard pre-operative counseling with the additional of an educational video. Those randomized to view the video will also complete the post-video survey. All patients will complete the post-op survey.
