Figure 1

Blinded decision aid example. The upper panel shows the balance sheet decision aid. The AHP-based decision aid included all of the elements shown in the figure. The balance sheet was used to present the comparative outcome information. Pairwise comparison judgments regarding differences between the options’ benefits and risks were entered using the interactive sliders shown in the middle of the figure. Sliders were also used to compare the priorities of benefits versus risks in making the decision. Results of the analysis are summarized in the chart and table shown below. The unblinded decision aids were identical except that aspirin was denoted as Medication A and statin was denoted as Medication B.
