Abstract: | Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancer. However, its associated mortality can be ameliorated through effective screening tests dependent on high uptake and adherence within a target population of older adults. This paper describes a developmental process to deliver specific tailored information via the web to assist individuals in making a decision to undertake screening. This decision aid aims to adopt behavioural theories to define the psychosocial variables within a user model; such a model could then be utilised to individualise tailored information to initiate and sustain a decision to undertake CRC screening. |
