CaP
This project aims to develop and test new materials that involve patient decision-making. The topic addresses prostate cancer, treatment options and outcomes. We will revise a paper-based decision aid and develop alternative media formats (audiotape- and Internet-based versions) of the paper based decision aid to increase distribution and utilization. We will also test the paper, audiotape, and Internet-based decision aids in an appropriate population of patients to provide pilot data on the tools' efficacy for improving patient knowledge.
