Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Women considering participation in IBIS-II will be randomised to receive a decision aid (intervention group) or a blank notebook (control group). The decision aid is a booklet containing clear written and graphical information, as well as exercises to help with the process of weighing up the pros and cons of possible risk management options, including joining IBIS-II. Participants usually take approximately 2 weeks to choose whether to take part in IBIS-II, however, they can make such a decision at any point during which the trial is open for recruitment. Participation in the study involves filling out two questionnaires over a 3 month period. The study is expected to conclude mid 2009.
