They transitioned from advising women to obtain a routine screening mammogram annually starting at the age of 40 to recommending a routine screening mammogram every two years starting at the age of 50. Although this change ignited a national debate, there was consensus on the need for a decision-making resource to help women in their 40s understand the issues so they could make an informed choice in the matter. In response, we designed, built, and tested a web-based breast cancer screening decision aid tool for women ages 38 to 48 with an average risk of developing breast cancer. The tool gave these women the resources they needed to work with their healthcare providers to make choices about screening mammography that were right for them. Engineered and developed following the International Patient Decision Aid Standards criteria, the tool was refined through three rounds of usability testing and ongoing feedback from select stakeholders. 000000726 540__ $$fCC BY 000000726 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000726 650__ $$aBehavioral Research$$034687 000000726 650__ $$aEarly Detection of Cancer$$038151 000000726 650__ $$aDecision Making$$017417 000000726 650__ $$aMammography$$021789 000000726 650__ $$aDecision Support Techniques$$017421 000000726 650__ $$aBreast Neoplasms$$015809 000000726 650__ $$aWomen$$027986 000000726 650__ $$aAdult$$014319 000000726 650__ $$aMiddle Aged$$022303 000000726 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000726 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000000726 7001_ $$aScariati, Paula$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000726 7201_ $$aEden, Karen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eChair 000000726 8564_ $$984627a98-89b2-4ca3-b703-892238857fd4$$s6028131$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/726/files/729_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$23f7760435eedfe5d5bdbc182147145b8$$31 000000726 905__ $$a/rest/prod/tt/44/pm/90/tt44pm90s 000000726 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:726$$pstudent-work 000000726 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
