PURPOSEPURPOSE•To obtain estimates of the impact of patient decision aids versus usual care on measures of patient involvement in decision-making and diabetes control
METHODSMETHODSStudy Design•Practice-level, multi-site cluster randomized trial•Patient decision aids versus usual care•Randomized 10 participating primary care practices to implement either:
• Diabetes Medication Choice• Statin Choice
Study Population•Patients with diabetes were enrolled between March 2010 and July 2011 in rural primary care practices•Eligibility criteria:
• Age 18+ years• Type 2 diabetes• Maximum dosages of current medications• Planning to discuss changing/adding medication• HbA1c > 7.3 for diabetes discussion only
Data Collection•Abstraction from the medical & pharmacy records•Surveys administered to patients and clinicians
Demographics
*no significant differences between study arms
RESULTSRESULTS
*modified and adjusted by discussion and study arm
LIMITATIONSLIMITATIONS•This was a feasibility study
• Too small and brief to conclude about the effectiveness of decision aids in diabetes
• Efficacy and feasibility of decision aids confirmed with suggestive results of improved medication adherence
•Several lessons to improve the feasibility of larger study were drawn

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
•We were able to deliver decision aids to intervention patients in nonurban clinics, but the trial had important feasibility challenges
•Decision aids • more likely to spark conversation about medications• inform patients about options, risks and benefits of each medication
•Clinicians felt decision aid was easy• to deliver during patient office visit• for support staff to integrate in daily activities
•Pharmacy• DA patients were more adherent and persistent
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE OR POLICYIMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE OR POLICY
• Tough to implement shared decision making in a pragmatic trial when
• quality metrics are disease centric,
• patients do not expect involvement, and
• clinicians are not trained to share decisions.
• Both trials and decision aids must be designed to fit the characteristics of users and practices.
• Much more work is needed in this area.
