Summary of qualitative findings about clinical guidance programme
| Expectations | Clarification of decisions |
|---|---|
| Process of using decision aid | Most tasks completed by most women. “Standard gamble” and “time trade off” exercises found most difficult because of difficulty of thinking in the abstract |
| Reactions to the output | Surprise at specificity of guidance |
| Impact on decisions | Decision clarification, but not necessarily in line with guidance statement |
| Attitudes towards overall presentation of decision aid | Overall satisfaction. Seen as offering “time to think and talk”. Some negative attitudes to the technology apparent (“grey box”), but viewed as up to date |
