Translation and cultural adaptation of the web and printed versions of a decision aid to support men's prostate cancer screening choice: a protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent cancers among men. However, screening for prostate cancer carries many risks and a small benefit. Thus, based on the available evidence, most medical organisations advocate a shared decision-making process, in which decision aids may play an important role. Nevertheless, to date there is no such instrument to be used by Portuguese men. Our goal is to translate and perform the cultural adaptation of an English language prostate cancer screening decision aid called 'Making the best choice', in web and printed formats, which has been developed and tested by a workgroup from Georgetown University (USA).

Methods and analysis

Culturally and technically inappropriate recommendations in the original decision aid will be review
