Processes for evidence summarization for patient decision aids: A Delphi consensus study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient decision aids (PDAs) should provide evidence-based information so patients can make informed decisions. Yet, PDA developers do not have an agreed-upon process to select, synthesize and present evidence in PDAs.

Objective

To reach the consensus on an evidence summarization process for PDAs.

Design

A two-round modified Delphi survey.

Setting and participants

A group of international experts in PDA development invited developers, scientific networks, patient groups and listservs to complete Delphi surveys.

Data collection

We emailed participants the study description and a link to the online survey. Participants were asked to rate each potential criterion (omit, possible, desirable, essential) and provide qualitative feedback.
