Overview

Brief Summary

To enhance information transfer and decision making for women with breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Our specific objectives are: (i) to develop computer and paper based versions of the Decision Boards for (a) chemotherapy for early stage breast cancer (chemotherapy versus no treatment), (b) mastectomy versus lumpectomy plus radiation and (ii) to compare the relative effectiveness of the computer and paper based versions with the standard Decision Board for patients with early breast cancer.
