An informed decision is a decision made after learning relevant
facts (informing oneself) about the focus of the decision. For
example, a person might make an informed decision to join the
military (or not join) after researching to find out if the
lifestyle, benefits, and travel opportunities are what he/she
wants. Another example: a person might make an informed decision
and decide to buy a Chevy truck rather than a Dodge Ram after
researching and learning (becoming informed) about each
vehicle.
