How Do Subjective Health Literacy Measures Work in Young Adults? Specifying "Online" or "Paper-Based" Forms Impacts Results.

There is no gold-standard health literacy measure. The Single Item Literacy Screener (SILS) and Subjective Literacy Screener (SLS) ask people to self-report ability to understand health information. They were developed in older adults, before common use of electronic health information.

The importance of shared decision-making in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Objective: Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions are common and rising. Parents with infants in the NICU face difficult decisions about their infants' care. Few studies have investigated parents' engagement in NICU decisions and its effects on decision regret.

A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the BREASTChoice Tool for Personalized Decision Support About Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy.

Objective: To evaluate a web-based breast reconstruction decision aid, BREASTChoice.

Summary And Background Data: Although postmastectomy breast reconstruction can restore quality of life and body image, its morbidity remains substantial. Many patients lack adequate knowledge to make informed choices.

Multimorbidity in randomized controlled trials of behavioral interventions: A systematic review.

Objective: As the population with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) increases, it is essential that randomized controlled trials (RCTs) consider MCC. Behavioral interventions have the potential to positively impact MCC patient outcomes; however, a comprehensive review of consideration of MCC in these trials has not been conducted. The purpose of this systematic review is to determine the frequency with which participants with MCC are represented in behavioral intervention RCTs targeting chronic illness published 2000-2014.

Importance of Shared Decision-Making for Vulnerable Populations: Examples from Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction.

Shared decision-making (SDM) is a process through which patients and providers collaborate to select a treatment option that aligns with patients' preferences and clinical context. SDM can improve patients' decision quality and satisfaction. However, vulnerable populations face barriers to participation in SDM, which exacerbates disparities in decision quality.
