Layout of the first version of the PDA. (A) Home page of the PDA. For each treatment option, we included videos of doctors explaining the treatment and videos of patients who are interviewed on their decisional process, the treatment, and their quality of life. (B) The PDA contains a short summary with the risks and benefits of each option laid out next to each other and estimated overall survival rates per treatment and tumor characteristics (based on the tumor‐node‐metastasis classification). (C) All the treatment options are explained using text, pictures, and videos (D). At the end, patients can fill in a knowledge and preference test. They are encouraged to take the results of these tests to their physician to identify potential gaps in their knowledge and discuss personal preferences. PDA = Patient Decision Aid.
