Development and Evaluation of a Hormone Replacement Therapy Decision-Aid

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Menopause, Hormone Replacement Therapy

In brief

The decision regarding the use of post-menopausal estrogen hormone replacement therapy (HT) is complex because patients must balance the short and long-term risks and benefits. Information from new and important clinical trials must also be considered. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a HT CD-ROM decision-aid in improving the decision making process for women considering the use of estrogen HT.
