Current health IT policy directions assume lay people want to make explicit choices about who can access elements of their health information. To test this assumption, we presented lay people (N=31) with a decision scenario that required them to choose whether to share their medication information with three different types of physicians. Participants generally chose to share all of their medication information, citing anticipated clinical care benefits as the main reason for their choices. They seemed, however, unaware of the possible consequences of their choices.

Integrating genomics into healthcare within the precision medicine (PM) framework poses distinct challenges in resource-limited regions like Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MSKP) disorders entail a significant burden for individuals and healthcare systems. The PainSMART-strategy has been developed aiming to reduce divergences between patients and healthcare practitioners in their understanding of MSKP by providing a shared basis for communication and to facilitate patients' self-management of MSKP. The objective of the PainSMART-project is to evaluate the effects of the PainSMART-strategy as an adjunct to usual physiotherapy management compared to usual physiotherapy management alone.
