Development of a Computer Decision Support System for Women with BRCA1 and BRACA2 Mutations

Abstract

"Development of a Computer Decision Support System for Women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 Mutations" is a project that aims to develop a decision support system that provides individualized information about the expected benefits of alternative cancer risk reductions strategies for women with either a BRCAl or BRCA1 mutation. Many valuable steps have been taken in the second year of this grant, including the development of the educational booklet, the layout of the decision aid, the completion of the decision support system, and the protocol for the randomized control trial. All of the elements are in place for the randomized control trial to begin. Although delayed somewhat by the complexities of the computerized decision support system, enrollment for the randomized control trial will begin on August 1, 2000.
