From Trust to Choice: A Cross-Sectional Survey of How Patient Trust in Pharmacists Shapes Willingness and Vaccination Decision Control Preferences.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends some vaccinations using shared clinical decision-making (SCDM). SCDM recommendations are made when not every individual within a given age or risk group would benefit from vaccination, requiring collaborative discussions between patients and providers to assess risks and benefits. Pharmacists play a key role in implementing this recommendation and have frequent opportunities to engage with patients who may be eligible for SCDM-based vaccines. Because SCDM requires provider discussions to assess each patient's eligibility for the vaccines under SCDM, trust may play a central role in the process. Trust has been suggested to affect patient's participation in their care and their decision making prefer
