Med Decis Making
April 2020
Article Synopsis
- High-quality health decisions must be based on evidence and align with the values of those affected, but the effectiveness of values clarification methods is often not evaluated.
- In a study involving multiple strategies tested in diverse US populations, traditional methods like pros and cons did not promote values-congruent decisions, while mathematical models that aligned options with personal values showed positive results.
- The findings suggest that without properly aligning decisions with values, there's a higher risk of incongruent choices, and decisional conflict should not be seen as a substitute for measuring values congruence.
