Abstract

Background. We report on the development and initial evaluation of a novel computerized decision support system (CDSS) that utilizes concepts from entertainment education (edutainment) to assist low-literate, multiethnic women in making initial surgical treatment decisions. Method. We randomly assigned 51 patients diagnosed with early stage breast cancer to use the decision aid. Results. Patients who viewed the CDSS improved their knowledge of breast cancer treatment; found the application easy to use and understand, informative, and enjoyable; and were less worried about treatment. Conclusion. The system clearly reached its intended objectives to create a usable decision aid for low-literate, novice computer users.
