Interactive Decisions from CBDSM

By clicking on an interactive decision, you can get hands-on experience with CBDSM's innovative research in behavioral health and medical decision making. Each scenario turns a recent research finding into a decision that a patient or a policy maker might face.

In our interactive decisions, we:
  • replicate actual research surveys
  • display alternative graphical representations of health risks
  • present choices in bioethics
  • explore emotions related to health
  • and much more.

Clinical topics range widely and have included paraplegia, renal disease, immunization, infertility, HIV/AIDS, cancer, women's health, organ transplants, and colostomy.

CBDSM's interactive decisions can be controversial, but they're always stimulating. Read, decide, click - and get a full commentary on the implications of your decisions!

A full archive of our interactive decisions can be found here.
