Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on how training primary care physicians in shared decision-making (SDM) and providing electronic reminders affects older adults' preferences for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
- - The researchers assessed the impact of these interventions on the agreement between patients and physicians regarding screening methods, as well as overall screening rates after 12 months.
- - Conducted as part of the PRIMED clinical trial, the study involved 59 physicians and 466 patients aged 76 to 85, highlighting the challenges in CRC screening decisions for older adults.
Objective: Adapt and test a measure of knowledge for caregivers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and evaluate the impact of the information component of a decision aid (DA) on participant knowledge.
Methods: A set of seven knowledge items were created based on prior knowledge measures and clinical guidelines. As part of a larger cross-sectional survey study of caregivers of children diagnosed with ADHD, caregivers were randomized to one of two arms: 1) a DA arm, where participants reviewed the information component of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital's DA, and 2) a control arm, where participants were not shown a DA.
Purpose: Older adults are prone to cognitive impairment, which may affect their ability to engage in aspects of shared decision making (SDM) and their ability to complete surveys about the SDM process. This study examined the surgical decision-making processes of older adults with and without cognitive insufficiencies and evaluated the psychometric properties of the SDM Process scale.
Methods: Eligible patients were 65 y or older and scheduled for a preoperative appointment before elective surgery (e.
Background: For adults aged 76-85, guidelines recommend individualizing decision-making about whether to continue colorectal cancer (CRC) testing. These conversations can be challenging as they need to consider a patient's CRC risk, life expectancy, and preferences.
Objective: To promote shared decision-making (SDM) for CRC testing decisions for older adults.
Background: The Shared Decision Making (SDM) Process scale is a brief, patient-reported measure of SDM with demonstrated validity in surgical decision making studies. Herein we examine the validity of the scores in assessing SDM for cancer screening and medication decisions through standardized videos of good-quality and poor-quality SDM consultations.
Method: An online sample was randomized to a clinical decision-colon cancer screening or high cholesterol-and a viewing order-good-quality video first or poor-quality video first.
