 | Women with breast cancer have indicated their desire to be involved in decisions about their care. We have developed a decision aid, called the Decision Board, for women regarding choices in breast cancer with respect to surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy. Randomized trials have demonstrated that the Decision Board not only increases patient knowledge, but improves patient satisfaction, decreases decisional conflict, and facilitates shared decision-making between the physician and the ... |

| Women with breast cancer have indicated their desire to be involved in decisions about their care. We have developed a decision aid, called the Decision Board for women regarding choices in breast cancer with respect to surgical treatment and the use of adjuvant chemotherapy. Randomized trials have demonstrated that the Decision Board not only increases patient knowledge, but improves patient satisfaction, decreases decisional conflict, and facilitates a shared decision-making between ... |

| Women with breast cancer have increasingly indicated a desire for more information about their disease and the need to be involved in making decisions about their care. We have developed two decision aids called Decision Boards (DB) to help clinicians inform patients about their treatment options. One DB involves the surgical decision between mastectomy and lumpectomy plus radiation (DECIDE-S); the other involves the decision between chemotherapy options for the treatment ... |

| The objectives of this study are to develop i) computer-based versions of the Decision Boards for (a) surgical treatment of breast cancer; (b) chemotherapy for node-negative breast cancer, and (c) chemotherapy for premenopausal node-positive breast cancer; and ii) to compare the relative effectiveness of the computer-based versions with standard Decision Boards for women with early breast cancer. In our second year, after extensive revisions, field testing was conducted on the ... |
