Effects of an Explicit Value Clarification Method With Computer-Tailored Advice on the Effectiveness of a Web-Based Smoking Cessation Decision Aid
Currently, we cannot confidently recommend the inclusion of explicit value clarification methods and computer-tailored advice within digital decision aids.
