Study Summary

The study team is conducting this project to learn more about how patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) like to use and receive educational materials about treatment options and treatment decision making.

This study will assess the efficacy of a decision support intervention to make decisions about treatment and disease management for patients with EoE and will assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention to inform future R01-level studies.

The study team hypothesize that deploying the intervention will be feasible, and it will demonstrate high acceptability among EoE patients. Additionally, that patients that use the intervention (vs general education about EoE) will report greater treatment knowledge, increased readiness to choose a therapy, adherence to therapy, and follow-up.
