Filter by:The purpose of the current trial is to evaluate a novel e-health platform. Overall Hypothesis: Participants who receive Plan Well Guide (PWG) 2.0 will make more progress in their 'preparations' as measured by "Preparedness for the Future Questionnaire (PREP FQ)" at 6 months and, consequently, experience greater improvements in their psychological well-being (PWB), health status, and life satisfaction at 12 months compared to participants receiving PWG 1.0 (Advance Serious Illness module only). Study Design: The investigators propose to conduct a multi-site randomized trial to evaluate a novel e-health platform. Overall Hypothesis: Participants who receive Plan Well Guide (PWG) 2.0 will make more progress in their 'preparations' as measured by "Preparedness for the Future Questionnaire (PREP FQ)" at 6 months and, consequently, experience greater improvements in their psychological well-being (PWB), health status, and life satisfaction at 12 months compared to participants receiving PWG 1.0 (Advance Serious Illness module only).Study Design: We propose to conduct a multi-site randomized trial. Setting: Several sites in Lethbridge Alberta. a sample of primary care clinics as well as recruit online participants. Study Population: The investigators plan to include interested participants that are aged between 25 to 70 years of age. We will exclude participants that don't speak English or do not have internet access/email addresses, and already have a high PWB score. Study Intervention: Eligible participants will then be randomly allocated to 2 groups: PWG 1.0 or PWG 2.0.Outcomes: The primary outcome for this trial will be an overall score of PWB questionnaire; key secondary outcomes include PWB domain scores, SF-12,single-item rating of life satisfaction, all measured at 6 and 12 months. Additional outcomes include 'days off work' and health care utilization. Significance: This study will be the first large multi-centre trial examining the effects of a novel e-health platform aimed at improving people's psychological well-being and health status as well as their preparedness for serious illness decision-making during this time of a global pandemic. Results of this trial will likely affect the state of preparedness of individuals, and if wide disseminated, may have a dramatic effect on the health and well-being of a broad segment of the population.
To investigate the effects of a question prompt list (QPL) on a shared decision-making consultation among facing decision for dialysis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. A randomized controlled trial was conducted at the university medical center of North Taiwan. Subjects were randomized assigned to QPL group or usual care group. Decisional quality and decision control preferences were assessed with questionnaires. Measurements were performed at before the counseling (T0), immediately after counseling (T1), and evaluate decision regret at one month after treatment.
The purpose of the research is to determine how the language used when discussing preferences about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affects decisions regarding this (code status)
To test competing sets of information for consumers on how to interpret hypothetical SARS-CoV-2 home test kit results and whether they report plans to take CDC-recommended actions to protect themselves and others given their test results and two critical aspects of their clinical context: symptoms, recent close exposures. Participants will be randomized to receive either information from the FDA authorized Ellume home test kit (the first kit authorized for over the counter use) for what actions to take for a negative or positive COVID-19 test (usual care) or a decision science-based design of similar length (intervention).
The aim of this thesis is; The aim of this study is to examine the effect of web-based training based on transtheoretic model on exercise behavior in patients with coronary artery disease. The research is a randomized controlled trial. 114 patient who meet the conditions for research will be included in the study. In collecting data, the Patient Information Form, Exercise Change Phase Short Question Form, Exercise Change Processes Scale, Exercise Decision Making Scale and Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale developed by the researcher will be used.
Based on an American study by Scherer et al., it is hypothesized that some women will make irrational choices regarding their participation in mammography screening. Therefore, the aim is to estimate the prevalence of Danish women having an irrational preference for mammography screening even when it confers no benefits, but only harms.
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of the "Best Case/Worse Case" (BC/WC) communication tool on receipt of palliative care and intensity of treatment at the end of life, quality of life, and quality of communication for older patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving outpatient care at ten nephrology clinics. The intervention was developed and tested with acute care surgical patients at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and is now being testing to see if the intervention will work in a different setting. The intervention will be tested with 320 older adults who have end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and are receiving care from a nephrologist enrolled in the study. Randomly assigned nephrologists within each site will receive the intervention (training to use the BC/WC tool) or to be in the waitlist control, meaning that they will not be offered BC/WC training until the end of the study, when all participants have been enrolled. Participants will be on follow up with surveys and chart review for up to two years after study enrollment. Caregivers will also be invited to participate and complete surveys.
The aim of the present project is to elucidate the neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying value (choice preference) and attention (choice randomness) processing in humans. More specifically, the investigators test whether dopaminergic, noradrenergic and cholinergic interventions affect neural and behavioral processing of valuation and attention during decision-making. The investigators do this by up-regulating dopaminergic, noradrenergic or cholinergic neurotransmission pharmacologically through administration of methylphenidate, reboxetine, or nicotine. We test the hypothesis that methylphenidate, reboxetine, or nicotine reduce choice randomness and that this effect is underpinned by an effect on attention and/or value processing.
The goal of this application is to gain a deeper understanding of decision-making for genetic testing and identify effective choice-architecture-based strategies to improve decisions in genetic testing. The investigators hypothesize that choice architecture (i.e. framing) affects decision-making for hypothetical genetic testing scenarios.
Developing theoretical, quantitative models of the basic cognitive mechanisms underlying human social decision-making, and understanding the influence of neuromodulators such as dopamine on these mechanisms, has important ramifications for both healthy and patient populations. In this proposal the investigators combine quantitative social measures, computational models, neuroimaging, and a pharmacological intervention to define the mechanisms of social decision-making.
