Summary
This study tested a decision tool that gives doctors personalized recommendations for preventive care based on each patient's risk factors. About 721 patients and 60 primary care providers took part. Half of the providers used the tool with some patients, while the other half continued with usual care. The goal was to see if the tool helped improve quality-adjusted life expectancy and use of preventive services.
