Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Developing a digital decision aid for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening requires co-creation with diverse end-users. This ensures accessibility and addresses challenges for ethnic minorities and those with functional limitations.
Area Of Science
- Digital Health
- Health Informatics
- Cancer Screening Technologies
Background
- Digital decision aids can centralize cancer screening information, promoting shared decision-making.
- Ethnic minorities and individuals with functional limitations exhibit lower cancer screening participation rates.
- Developing inclusive and accessible decision aids is crucial for health equity.
Purpose Of The Study
- To describe the design and alpha phases of a digital decision aid for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
- To explore tentative end-users' perceptions of the digital decision aid.
- To identify areas for improvement in digital health tool development.
Main Methods
- Development followed a scientific framework for decision aids.
- Participants were recruited via multiple channels.
- Evaluation used a think-aloud approach on a paper version and website prototype.
Main Results
- User feedback provided detailed suggestions for improving the decision aid's design and content.
- While generally positive, some users found specific wording and visuals challenging, expressing anxiety.
- Findings highlight the complexity and challenges inherent in digital decision aid development.
Conclusions
- Co-creation with diverse end-users is essential for effective digital decision aid design.
- A well-established development framework is vital for complex digital health tools.
- Inclusion of diverse populations is a prerequisite for achieving an equitable healthcare system.
