title: Evaluating the utility of a patient decision aid for potential participants of a prostate cancer trial (RAVES-TROG 08.03).
abstract: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) can be hampered by poor patient accrual and retention. Decision aids (DAs) containing simple, evidence-based information, may assist patients with decision-making regarding trial participation. The current DA was of use for 95% of participants. Further evaluation of the DA in a RCT is currently underway.
