The purpose of this study is to update our online decision aid for the treatment of osteoporosis to incorporate new treatment options and to prototype and field test the updated decision aid within the Bone Clinic (Endocrinology) and primary care clinics at Mayo Clinic.

The aim of this study is to develop, in close collaboration with stakeholders, an evidence-based decision aid to inform discussions regarding the treatment of obesity (Obesity Choice).

The purpose of this study is to explore how using different terms (with or without the word cancer) to identify papillary thyroid cancer might affect the decisions patients would make about treatment.

The purpose of this study is to field test and update an existing conversation aid prototype designed to support shared decision making in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer, and to conduct a pilot randomized multi-center trial to test the refined conversation aid.

The study purpose is to understand patients’ with the diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus type 1 or 2 perception of the care they receive in the Diabetes clinic or Diabetes technology clinic at Mayo Clinic and to explore and to identify the healthcare system components patients consider important to be part of the comprehensive regenerative care in the clinical setting.

However, before we can implement structural changes or design interventions to promote comprehensive regenerative care in clinical practice, we first need to characterize those regenerative practices occurring today, patients expectations, perceptions and experiences about comprehensive regenerative care and determine the factors that promote and hinder their occurrence. Therefore, as exploratory work to inform the development of a comprehensive regenerative care clinic concept, we propose a qualitative study to explore patient perceptions of what it means to experience comprehensive regenerative care in the context of a clinical encounter.

We hypothesize that the findings from this study will improve the care of patients with diabetes based on the concept of comprehensive regenerative care.  The findings from this study may also lead to better care plans that are congruent with patient goals and context, therefore leading to improvements in outcomes that matter to these patients.

The objective of this project is to evaluate a treatment decision aid for patients with low risk thyroid cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assist patients and clinicians weigh the potential harms and benefits of different treatment options for atrial fibrillation.  The plan is to develop an evidence-based decision aid for use in clinical encounters. The goal is to promote evidence-based patient-centered care. Ideally, this care should reflect the research evidence about treatment options for atrial fibrillation. It should also reflect the values and preferences of the informed patient.
