Australian Screening Mammography Decision Aid Trial Online ( Mammography Decision Aid for women aged 40 years)Mathieu E, Barratt A, Howard K, McGeechan K, Davey H, Houssami N. This decision aid aims to help women around 40 years of age make an informed choice about whether to begin screening for breast cancer or wait until later (50 years). The decision aid is available on on-line at www.mammogram.med.usyd.edu.au. It has been evaluated in a randomized controlled trial conducted on-line and is now in publication process. The decision aid increased knowledge, and decreased the proportion of women who were undecided. The trial demonstrated the usefulness and feasibility of an on-line decision aid to help women make this decision. |
