    PI: Angela Fagerlin, PhD

This project uses AHRQ-developed consumer guides as inspiration for a tailored program that assists with this decision-making. The current iDECIDE intervention serves as the base of the program, with updates geared toward making it more specific to veterans. (01/01/2012 - 09/30/2012)
