PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 1 month Follow upIs an 11-item instrument that one's self-confidence in decision making. This scale is a validated scale with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.92 and correlates with DCS subscale of being informed (r=0.47). Scored from 0-100 with higher scores indicating more decision self efficacy.
