Trial of a Mammography Decision Aid for Women Aged 75 and Older
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer Screening
In brief
The aim of this study is to test whether an educational pamphlet on mammography designed for women aged 75 and older improves older women's decision-making around mammography screening. The investigators aim to show that the educational pamphlet improves older women's knowledge of the pros and cons or screening and leads to fewer women in poor health with short life expectancy being screened.
