Patient decision aids for colorectal cancer screening: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This systematic review describes studies evaluating patient decision aids for colorectal cancer screening in average-risk adults and their impact on knowledge, screening intentions, and uptake. It concluded that decision aids improve knowledge and interest in screening, and lead to increased screening over no information, but their impact on screening is similar to general colorectal cancer screening information.

Patient-reported roles, preferences, and expectations regarding treatment of stage i rectal cancer in the cancer care outcomes research and surveillance consortium.
The researchers identified patient roles, preferences, and expectations as they relate to treatment decision making for patients with stage I rectal cancer. They found that, in this study of 154 adults with newly-diagnosed and surgically treated stage 1 rectal cancer, the preferred decision-making role for patients did not match the actual decision-making process. They recommended that future efforts focus on bridging the gap between the decision-making process and patient preferences regarding various treatment approaches.

The role of decision models in health care policy: a case study.
In 2009, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) underwent a National Coverage Determination on computed tomography colonography (CTC) to screen for colorectal cancer. The Cancer Intervention & Surveillance Network developed decision models to inform this decision. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of models in this decision. It concluded that decision makers involved in the CTC decision believed in the adequacy of models to inform coverage decisions.

Development of a practical model for targeting patient decision support interventions to promote colorectal cancer screening in vulnerable populations.
The authors sought to develop a practical model for predicting probability of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening completion in a diverse safety-net population and a subsequent framework for targeting screening promotion interventions. Their model and framework may be useful for designing and delivering targeted interventions to promote CRC screening.
