A scoping review on adaptations incorporated into decision aids for children and adolescents (C&A) cohorts.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shared decision-making (SDM) is especially important for children and adolescents (C&A) as it promotes cooperation between patients, families, and healthcare professionals, enhances patient satisfaction and health outcomes. By enabling C&A to actively engage in their care, it ensures that their values and preferences taken into account. To enhance this collaborative process, decision aids (DA) serve as a valuable tool. It is crucial to note the need for tailoring these DAs to meet the unique demands of C&A during these SDM processes. However, data are scarce regarding the adaptations necessary for DAs geared towards C&A health-related decision-making. We aim to bridge this knowledge gap and provide insights into specific DA adaptations that can benefit the C&A population
