Improving informed decision-making for patients with knee pain.

Abstract

Participants using a tool designed to increase patient awareness of choice and evaluate the tradeoffs related to available treatment options were more confident in their ability to obtain information about available treatment options, were better prepared to participate in their visit, and had better arthritis related self-efficacy compared to patients receiving an information pamphlet. The results of this pilot study justify future large-scale trials to determine the effectiveness of similar interventions.
