What is decision coaching? • Develops patients’ skills in: - thinking/deliberating about options - preparing for a consultation - implementing change • Coaches are trained to be supportive but non-directive (O’Connor et al., 2008; Stacey et al., 2008; 2013)
Medical Decision Making, 2012 Coaching (n=10 trials): • improved knowledge compared to usual care • improved knowledge similar to decision aid group • improved or no difference on other outcomes (values-choice agreement, satisfaction, participation, costs)
Summary of findings • Decision Support studies with children • Few available studies compared to adult population • First intervention to support multiple stakeholders • Complexities of dyad/triad relationship • Differences between parents and children • Success of interventions with younger participants • Minimal missing info • Children as young as 9 years • BUT must target them sooner in the decision making process
