Editorial Comment

Decision aids should ideally promote clinical equipoise. However, the data from this study suggest some variation to which this is applied, given the differing results on how they altered the pre-exposure intent to undergo or recommend PSA screening. Although there was some change of opinion, a common theme is that the pre-exposure intent was unchanged in the majority of individuals who worked through any of these decision aids. The results are somewhat similar to our experience with testing a decision aid in a randomized controlled trial of a controversial aspect of prostate cancer care.
