Development and Feasibility of a Web-Based Decision Aid for Patients With Ulcerative Colitis: Qualitative Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shared decision making (SDM) is becoming an important part of ulcerative colitis (UC) management because of the increasing complexity of available treatment choices and their trade-offs.

Objective

The secondary aim is to use the findings of this pilot study to inform the design of a cluster randomized clinical trial (CRC
