What this trial studies

The study investigates the impact of DECISION HELPER™-based patient decision aids on patient involvement in SDM within mental healthcare. Participants are adults receiving mental health treatment and are randomized to receive care with a PtDA or to standard SDM without a PtDA. Researchers explore how patients and clinicians experience SDM and the PtDA in routine clinical encounters. The trial is conducted across hospital settings in the Region of Southern Denmark, led by the University of Southern Denmark. Outcomes focus on patient involvement in decision-making and perceptions of the SDM process.
