A COMPUTER-BASED DECISION AID FOR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 本研究的主要研究目标是评估基于计算机的决策辅助，用于做出寿命终止决策。这项研究将招募200名晚期癌症患者，年龄超过18岁，预期寿命不到6个月，他们在宾夕法尼亚州立大学癌症研究所接受治疗。 参与者将被随机分配到计算机组（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宣言，将形成纸/笔生活。

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.
