Electronically Verified Use of Internet-Based, Multimedia Decision Aids by Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes and Their Caregivers.

ABSTRACT: Decision aids (DAs) are central to shared decision making (SDM) interventions, yet little is known about patients' actual DA use. Adequate utilization of DAs could optimize SDM effectiveness. Electronic DAs enable more objective tracking and analysis of actual DA utilization than do paper DAs. This report is part of an ongoing randomized controlled SDM trial enrolling adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers (n = 153) who were considering use of an insulin pump or continuous glucose monitor. Extensive stakeholder engagement guided creation of two online DAs. After completing baseline measures, 133 dyads were randomized to SDM (access to the pertinent DA) or Usual Care (clinic routines for preparing candidates for adopting these devices). Utilization data showed that 80%
