Description
Summary:Since 2016, more than 26,000 patients have used the online prostate cancer (PC) decision aid “Entscheidungshilfe Prostatakrebs”. Because a large, randomized, controlled evaluation trial failed to show effects regarding the primary and secondary outcomes after 4 weeks, we used postmarket surveillance data for further analyses. The aim of this study was to analyze the immediate effects of using a PC decision aid on decisional conflict, distress, and knowledge.
