About this study

Official title: Wiser Choices in Osteoporosis Trial: The OSTEOPOROSIS CHOICE Decision Aid to Support the Decision to Use or Not Use Bisphosphonates in Postmenopausal Women at Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures.

To develop a decision aid to support the decision to use (or not use) bisphosphonates in postmenopausal women at risk for osteoporotic fractures, and to assess the impact of the decision aid on start and six month adherence to bisphosphonates.

Read the detailed description

Bisphosphonates can reduce fracture risk in patients with osteoporosis. However, many patients may not start and adhere to bisphosphonates, consequently losing independence, quality, and length of life. We hypothesize that a decision aid that efficiently improves patient education and communication with their provider about fracture risk, and about using bisphosphonates to reduce that risk, will improve the quality of treatment decisions. We anticipate that patients will become more involved in the decision-making process and decisions will be more consistent with patients' values and health care goals. We expect this will lead to increased bisphosphonate start and adherence and improved patient outcomes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evidence of success of decision aid to providers and patients, which leads to improved knowledge, reduced decisional conflict and enhanced satisfaction with the decision, and enhanced adherence to medication.

    Measured: Directly following intervention.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate ability to recruit participants and collect patient outcomes.

    Measured: One year after start of study.
