Introduction:
Our population has an intuitive approach of the screening and is mostly enthusiastic to participate. The related inquiries on breast cancer screening shows that most women misunderstood this advantages as well as disadvantages. Consequently, the Kenniscentrum (Brussels) started a study in order to present those in neutral messages.
Methodology:
This aims allowing women to make an informed decision. These messages are obviously based on the best methodologies applied on Belgian data. The content of these messages is especially based on the IPDAS criteria (international Patient Decision Aid Standards).
Results:
Three visual graphical presentations including these messages were designed for four age brackets (40-49 y.,50-59 y.,60-69 y., 70-79 y.). The first visual presents the burden of breast cancer among other causes of death. The second is related to the impact of screening or no screening on detection and on mortality, this one computed over the ten years after the screening. The third visual shows consequences (positive or negative result, eventual additional investigations needed) of each mammography at short or mid-term.
Discussion:
This tool can be used in the context of informed decision or shared decision making. This tool is in the public domain and can be downloaded, in French or Dutch, on KCE (https://kce.fgov.be, tab breast).

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
