anonymous on 08 Jul 11"These patient decision aids (PDAs) have been developed to help support difficult decisions in which patients need to consider benefits versus risks. Decision aids prepare patients for decision-making by increasing their knowledge about expected outcomes and personal values. The PDAs are based on the best available evidence but are not a substitute for a discussion with a suitably skilled healthcare professional. We hope that their use in such discussions will result in better informed, patient-focused decision-making. "
