AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2003:2003:843.

Abstract

To improve menopausal counseling, we developed a computer-generated personalized menopause decision support aid (DSA) and measured its impact in a randomized, controlled trial. Results suggest that this DSA may help women make informed decisions about menopausal therapy, change their risk perceptions, and motivate behavioral change.
