Preliminary Findings from a Randomized Mixed-Methods Cross-Over Study to Compare the Performance of DVD and Web-based Patient Decision Support
1. Preliminary findings from a randomized
mixed-methods cross-over study to
compare the performance of DVD and
web-based patient decision support

2. Knowledge gaps in decision support
n The internet is increasingly becoming the primary
medium for providing patients decision support.
n Few data are available to guide optimal design of
internet decision support and ensure comparable
effectiveness compared to video.
n A handful of studies have examined the efficacy
of internet decision support, but only one study
(2003) directly compared internet and video
decision support.
3. Review of Video and Internet Presentation
n 98% of participants assigned to the Video
group viewed the tape.
n 54% of those assigned to Internet viewed the
entire presentation of 47 slides. 40% never
reviewed any part of the presentation.

15. Reflections on using Health Crossroads
“I didn’t even look at the videos but just the presence of the videos seemed like it was
getting in my way, it was just filling up space, and you know I didn’t come looking for a
video…these days not knowing what’s going to happen when you click on a video, if you’re
going to get an advertisement, and uh, and then you know, something you know a video,
will take 10 minutes to say something that you can read in a minute.” MALE, 54, CRC
"My reaction is to take the DVD only because everybody likes to watch a DVD, but the
website is better. But see I was forced to read the website. If I had the DVD, I will actually
put the DVD in and play it. I would go to [the website]; I don't know if I would do as intensive
reading as I did here, um, um. There has to be a catch but I don't know what the catch
is...There has to be follow-up. If there's no follow up, then they might just flip through [the
website] and jot down and see a picture and read a line, but not really read the whole thing."

20. Understanding how patients use HC
“It wasn’t too busy, you know um, I didn’t get bored, I could easily find something you know,
some websites are too much you know, this was simple here’s all the different tests you can
take and these are all the procedures, I liked the chart you know the summary thing cause
you forget and with the summary then you don’t have to click from page to page cause you
have it all right there so that’s probably what I liked best was the summary chart.” FEMALE,
52, CRC
"I liked [the website] better because you could read something if weren't sure about it you
can go back and look at it." "In any given amount of time, you can absorb just so much
information. So the DVD is a little too fast, but that can't be helped. So the website is a very
good supplement." MALE, 85, BPH

23. Preferences for Health Crossroads
"Maybe I shouldn't say I would never use the DVD. If [my doctor] gave me the DVD as a
package and said view the DVD, you know, and then go to the website, you know, I would
do that. As I was watching [the DVD], I was thinking that I would never go back to this as a
tool. I would watch it once...and be done with it." MALE, 66, DIABETES
"I am not an internet person. I don't sit there and look at this stuff all day long, but I can read
it. I can go back to it. I can access it immediately with a mouse, and get what I want. [I] don't
have to watch the whole thing again to figure out where in the picture it was and I have to go
find this out. So I like that first website very much." MALE, 85, DIABETES
“The DVD you didn’t have any choice you just had to watch whatever came up but this one
you could choose what you wanted to see.” FEMALE, 64, DIABETES
"Everybody sits at a computer and it's just so easy you know, but you get a DVD in mail and
go "Oh I want to watch that" and you throw it on your desk, but you never do it. But
everyone sits at a computer and it's just "click" and we're there." FEMALE, 52, CRC
24. Conclusions
n Data appear to confirm that DVD may be the
superior option, for ensuring that patients are
exposed to all necessary information.
n Knowledge gains appear to be greater for DVD.
n More viewing of videos embedded in HC appears to
drive greater knowledge gains.
n Some suggestions that having both mediums is
valuable for patients – start with DVD, but use HC to
reinforce knowledge gains.
25. Limitations and next steps
n Findings are preliminary, based on 1/3 of ultimate
sample of 90 participants.
n Study is exploratory, not designed or powered for
null-hypothesis significance testing.
n Non-naturalistic laboratory study, but qualitative
data give us insight into how people might use
decision support at home.
n Participant recruitment is currently 85% complete.
Analysis will be complete by year-end.
