Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary outcome: Decision quality as measured by MyDecisionQuality an eight point scale that encompasses dimensions of making a high quality health decision.[Baseline (after completion of interactive decision aid).]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary Outcome 1: The proportion of the intervention and control group who indicate they are more likely to visit their GP to discuss PSA testing after interacting with either the 'Pick Your Own' (PYO) or Fixed Attribute (control group) decision aids. (The PYO version is where participants choose, from a list of 10 attributes, the ones they think are important to them). This will be assessed in the online questionnaire by asking participants to indicate how likely they are to see their GP about PSA testing before and after they use the appropriate decision aid.[After interaction with the decision aid.]
