Informed decision making about prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing: Findings and implications from formative testing of a multimodal intervention
Soloe, C.S., McCormack, L.A., Treiman, K., Driscoll, D., & Harris, S. (February 2009).
Researchers at RTI International developed intervention materials to provide men with the information, skills, and reinforcement needed to engage in informed decision making related to prostate cancer screening as part of formative research for an intervention study.
The findings underscored the difficulty of promoting informed decision making for cancer screening given people's high affinity for such screenings and the challenge of graphically communicating risk-related tradeoffs.
