Evaluation of a Personalized, Web-Based Decision Aid for Lung Cancer Screening.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Informed decision making has been highlighted as an important aspect of lung cancer screening programs. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of a web-based patient decision aid for lung cancer screening, www.shouldiscreen.com.

Methods

A before-and-after study (August through December 2014) was conducted where participants navigated a web-based decision aid that provided information about low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening.
