Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Outcome Measure:

Change in Anxiety

Outcome Description:

Anxiety is measured using the State Anxiety Scale of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Women complete this self-report measure at baseline (i.e., immediately prior to biopsy in the biopsy clinic) and immediately post-biopsy. Change in anxiety will be measured as change from baseline to post biopsy (i.e., post biopsy anxiety - baseline anxiety.) The expected duration from baseline to post biopsy assessment is expected to be an average of 1.5 hours.

Outcome Time Frame:

Change in anxiety from baseline (i.e., pre biopsy) assessment to post biopsy assessment will be examined. Participants will be followed for the duration of the biopsy, with an expected average of 1.5 hours between assessments.

Safety Issue:

No
