Interventions to Improve Shared Decision-Making: Prostate Cancer Screening is a prospective study of educational interventions to improve the interaction of physicians and their patients about prostate cancer screening. Educational material is provided in primary care practices using either standard paper information or a novel web-based interactive curriculum that explores the risks and benefits of screening measures for prostate cancer for older men. The impact of the intervention on shared decision-making with both actual and standardized patients will be assessed.
