PS1-4: The Nature of Social Support on Breast Cancer Patients' Treatment Decision-Making

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: providers and the healthcare system, (b) personal experiences with cancer, (c) trust in a particular media source, and (d) ability to pay for screening tests.Conclusions: Media messaging about cancer screening yielded very little influence on the decision to undergo screening.Rather, when presented with a DA, patients were more likely to place trust in that source, particularly if provided by a doctor.These data suggest a need for greater distribution of evidence-based decision support tools to aid patients in making decisions about cancer screening.
