Development and initial testing of a computer-based patient decision aid to promote colorectal cancer screening for primary care practice
J Kim, A Whitney, S Hayter, C Lewis… - BMC medical informatics …, 2005 - Springer
Background Although colorectal cancer screening is recommended by major policy-making
organizations, rates of screening remain low. Our aim was to develop a patient-directed,
computer-based decision aid about colorectal cancer screening and investigate whether it
could increase patient interest in screening. Methods We used content from evidence-based
literature reviews and our previous decision aid research to develop a prototype. We
performed two rounds of usability testing with representative patients to revise the content …

Development and Initial Testing of a Computer Based Patient Decision Aid to Promote Colorectal Cancer Screening for Primary Care Practice
J Kim - 2004 - cdr.lib.unc.edu
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the
United States and the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. Despite
published guidelines advocating screening for average-risk adults 50 years and older, rates
of screening remain low. Purpose: To investigate whether a patient-directed, computer-
based decision aid about colorectal cancer screening can increase patient interest in
screening and raise screening rates. Study Design: Before-after uncontrolled trial. Setting …
