Abstract
The following is a summary report from a special symposium titled, "Translating Research into Practice: Setting a Research Agenda for Clinical Decision Tools in Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, and Treatment," that was held on 23 October 2005 in San Francisco at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Medical Decision Making (SMDM). The symposium was designed to answer the question: "What are the top 2 research priorities in the field of patients' cancer-related decision aids?" After introductory remarks by Dr. Barry, each of four panelists-Drs. Hilary Llewellyn-Thomas, Ellen Peters, Laura Siminoff, and Dale Collins-addressed the question and provided their rationale during prepared remarks. The moderator, Dr. Michael Barry, then facilitated a discussion between the panelists, with input from the audience, to further explore and add to the various proposed research questions. Finally, Dr. Amber Barnato conducted a simple vote count (see Table 1) to prioritize the panelists' and the audience's recommendations.
