Efficacy of a Patient Education Video

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Patients in the intervention arm will view the 23-minute video depicting the Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) experience. Patients in the control arm will receive HSCT frequently asked questions (FAQ) sheet developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Detailed Description
-----------------
The study's overall goals are 1) to improve outcomes; and 2) to increase satisfaction with the physician consultation. Patients will be randomized to intervention or control and data will be collected at three time points (before treatment, 30 days post-HSCT and 12 months post-HSCT).

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in emergency department visits | Data will be collected through review of medical and insurance billing records | Up to 12 months after HSCT | 
| Change in number of hospitalizations | Data will be collected through review of medical and insurance billing records | Up to 12 months after HSCT | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Perception of satisfaction with the physician consultation | The Physician consultation will be measured by the Patient Satisfaction Communication Questionnaire (PSCQA). Participants are asked to rate their experience with the physician consultation. There are 17 items, 8 positively worded and 9 negatively worded.
