Trial Outcomes & Findings for Examining Validity and Reliability of the Shared Decision Making Process Survey in Adults With Depression (NCT NCT04343534)

NCT ID: NCT04343534

Last Updated: 2024-01-05

Results Overview

The Shared Decision Making Process is a short patient-reported survey that measures the amount of shared decision making that occurs in an interaction. Scores for both versions of the scale range from 0-4 where higher values indicate a better shared decision making process occurred.

Participant Flow

April 2020 - May 2020 using a national, non-probability panel obtained from Marketing Systems Group (MSG). MSG recruited participants by sending out invitation emails to potential responders.

Eligible respondents were adults in the US who had talked with a healthcare provider about starting or stopping medication for depression in the past 12 months. The sample was selected to have approximately equal age distribution above and below 40 years old (e.g. 18-39 and 40-75). Respondents were re-contacted approximately one-week post survey for a re-test survey.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline survey

Population: participants who answered the shared decision making process items and provided sufficient information to calculate a SDM Process score.

The Shared Decision Making Process is a short patient-reported survey that measures the amount of shared decision making that occurs in an interaction. Scores for both versions of the scale range from 0-4 where higher values indicate a better shared decision making process occurred.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline survey

Population: participants who completed all 4 items of the short decisional conflict scale. Only 485/494 participants provided enough information to calculate a SURE score.

Measures decisional conflict, consists of 4 yes/no items. Scores range 0-4 where 0 indicates high decisional conflict, 4 indicates no decisional conflict, and scores less than or equal to 3 indicate decisional conflict. The measure is top-scored and we report the percentage of participants who scored a 4 ("no decisional conflict).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 week after baseline survey

Population: A subset of participants who completed the baseline survey (n=200) were re-contacted approximately 1 week post-survey for a retest. Participants who completed the retest survey and provided enough information to calculate the shared decision making process score were part of this analysis. 163/200 participants provided sufficient information to calculate a retest SDM Process score.

The Shared Decision Making Process is a short patient-reported survey that measures the amount of shared decision making that occurs in an interaction. Scores range from 0-4 where higher values indicate a better shared decision making process occurred.
