title: Actual use and perceived usefulness of a web-based, decision support program for men with prostate cancer.
abstract: The purpose of this pilot study was to develop and test the Personal Patient Profile-Prostate (P4), a customized, Internet-based decision support system for men with localized prostate cancer. In a sample of 30 men, the P4 program was successfully implemented in a clinical setting. Men reported the program useful and web-logs documented a high use rate of menu-driven components of the intervention.
