About this study

Official title: Creation and Pilot Evaluation of a Patient Decision Aid as an Adjunct to the Consenting Process for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in a Pediatric Setting

Parents need understandable information in order to make appropriate choices for their child's health care. This is especially true when making decisions about invasive medical procedures. Parents need to understand what will happen, the risks involved, how these risks will be managed and what other options they have before they can decide what is best for their child. The present proposal involves the creation of a novel patient decision aid about the gastro endoscopy procedure, called a "scope." The purpose of the aid is to provide parents with information so they are able to discuss the options with their child's health care providers.

Read the detailed description

True informed consent depends on effective, bi-directional communication between parents and their child's healthcare providers. Many things affect the quality of the consenting process including the parents' level of health literacy, English proficiency and cultural perspectives. Our long-term goal is to develop a standardized consenting process that ultimately addresses the needs of the patient and the patient's family so that a truly informed decision can occur. The specific hypothesis is that incorporating the use of a multimedia patient decision aid to assist in the education of patients and their families about an invasive medical procedure (i.e. gastro-endoscopy) will improve knowledge and positively impact the ability of the parent to act on this knowledge when making decisions regarding their child's health care.
