A COMPUTER-BASED DECISION AID FOR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 本研究的主要研究目标是评估一种用于临终决策的计算机辅助决策工具。这项研究将招募200名在宾夕法尼亚州立癌症研究所接受治疗的18岁以上、预期寿命不到6个月的晚期癌症患者。参与者将被随机分配到电脑组(100名受试者)或标准护理组(100名受试者)，他们将收到宾夕法尼亚州宣言，纸/铅笔生活将形成。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The primary study objective of the study is to evaluate a computer based decision aid for end of life decision making. This study will enroll 200 advanced cancer patients, over 18 years of age, with life expectancies less than 6 months, who are receiving care in the Penn State Cancer Institute. Participants will be randomized either to the computer group (100 subjects) or the standard care group (100 subjects) who will receive the Pennsylvania Declaration, a paper/pencil living will form.
