#129 EE: The Potential Value of Shared Decision Making (SDM) in Clinical Trial Consideration and Participation

Component Type: Workshop
Level: Intermediate

Shared decision making is a form of collaborative communication to help patients and their providers consider various care options and potential clinical trials. Through facilitated discussion and small group activity, participants will examine the value of SDM from the point of view of people living with different disease types, from common, chronic diseases, such as diabetes, to various stages of cancer and rare diseases. They will also consider a study design with patient-centered outcome measures related to decision-making and patient experience.

Learning Objectives

Explore the application of SDM in discussions including clinical trials as options; Examine examples from clinical development operations, assess them for their suitability for decision support; Discuss the challenges of implementation Explain a study design that could help demonstrate the potential of SDM to transform traditional clinical trial recruitment into patient-centered decision support.
