Using Decision Analysis to Enhance Decision-Making Regarding Prostate Cancer Screening

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new counseling tool for patients deciding whether or not to undergo prostate cancer screening. This screening decision aid is a computer program that provides individual patients estimates of their risks of prostate cancer diagnosis, prostate cancer related death, or death from any cause. The researchers are evaluating whether or not patients find this screening decision aid helpful. As part of this study, participants will be asked for their response on questionnaires. If patients find the screening decision aid helpful, the researchers will make it available at other clinic locations.
