Key Points Question Does a targeted patient decision aid decrease older adults’ preferences for colorectal cancer screening among those unlikely to benefit from it? Findings The findings of this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial including 424 participants did not demonstrate statistically significant differences in patient preferences between the health state groups. However, compared with the control group, fewer participants in the intervention group preferred screening in the intermediate and poor health states. Meaning Additional studies that are appropriately powered are needed to determine the effect of the decision aid on preferences of older patients for colorectal cancer screening by health state.
