Communicating the External Beam Radiotherapy Experience (CEBRE) Discussion Guides: Real World Implementation and Evaluation

The majority of respondents did not use the CEBRE guides which may be due to difficulty with implementation. However, respondents who use the guides are confident using them and rate them as useful for patients. These data, although limited by the low response rate, suggest that the CEBRE guides have accomplished the goal of facilitating patient-physician conversations. Moreover, there is an interest in translating the guides into additional languages other than Spanish. Due to the low response rate, definitive conclusions cannot be made from these data. Therefore, further research such as interviews and focus groups may be beneficial.
