Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a computer-based decision aid (DA) for use by men considering prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer. Major medical organizations recommend that men discuss the risks and benefits of this test with their physician before making the decision. This educational, interactive DA will help them prepare for that discussion.

- description
- Readiness to make a decision based on Stage of Decision-Making Scale (O'Connor A et al, 2008) with five responses ranging from "I haven't thought about it before" to "I have made a decision, and I am not likely to change my mind." Men were classified as having "decided" if they stated either that they had made a decision, but were willing to reconsider, or if they responded that they had made a decision but were unlikely to change their mind. Those "undecided" reported that they had not thought about the decision, or were uncertain.
