"Multi-criteria decision analysis of breast cancer control in low- and middle- income countries: development of a rating tool for policy makers", by Kristie Venhorst, Sten G Zelle, Noor Tromp and Jeremy A Lauer

The objective of this study was to develop a rating tool for policy makers to prioritize breast cancer interventions in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs), based on a simple multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach. The definition and identification of criteria play a key role in MCDA, and our rating tool could be used as part of a broader priority setting exercise in a local setting. This tool may contribute to a more transparent priority-setting process and fairer decision-making in future breast cancer policy development.
