Through a patient participation aid (PPA) the investigators hope to improve the psychosocial well-being of women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer by empowering them to be active participants in clinical encounters.

BEHAVIORAL

Patient-Participation Aid

The PPA consists of a folder that addresses the three behaviors we hope to influence: agenda setting, asking questions, and making preferences known. The information inside contains sample questions for each section, with room for the patient to write her own questions. Each section models behavior by giving context for the items and specific example questions. It also addresses barriers to understanding by indicating that it is acceptable to ask questions when something is not clear or terms are unfamiliar.
