Abstract

Summary

Shared decision making is a process that promotes patient involvement in decisions affecting their health care. The Patient Provider Shared Decision Making Project is a collaborative pilot project that used standardized decision aids with a poor underserved population in the Greater Philadelphia area.  A high percentage of patients in the pilot perceived themselves to be legitimate participants in the decision-making process, and exposure to the decision-making aids (DVDs, which they preferred, and written booklets) enhanced this perception.
