Evaluating a Decision Aid for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Intermediate-Risk Melanoma

This research study is testing a decision aid to help patients think through whether to have sentinel lymph node biopsy for melanoma. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) can be a difficult decision for some patients because the potential benefits and risks may not be clear. This study is being done to learn whether providing structured, easy-to-understand information helps patients feel more informed and less uncertain about their decision. Patients in this study will be given a paper decision aid (DA). Patients will be given other short questionnaires to complete before and after the decision aid.
