Trial Outcomes & Findings for Understanding Factors in Decision Making for Children With Medical Complexity (NCT NCT05913206)

NCT ID: NCT05913206

Last Updated: 2026-02-24

Results Overview

Differences in decision readiness between arms as measured by the validated PrepDM survey measure. The PrepDM is a 10-item (1 to 5 scale) validated survey measure that evaluates a patient's perceived readiness to make a decision with their healthcare provider. The composite score is a mean of all items converted to a scale of 0-100 with higher scores indicating greater decision readiness. PrepDM is widely used to evaluate the effectiveness of decision aids.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Immediately after reviewing the intervention

Differences in decision readiness between arms as measured by the validated PrepDM survey measure. The PrepDM is a 10-item (1 to 5 scale) validated survey measure that evaluates a patient's perceived readiness to make a decision with their healthcare provider. The composite score is a mean of all items converted to a scale of 0-100 with higher scores indicating greater decision readiness. PrepDM is widely used to evaluate the effectiveness of decision aids.

Timeframe: Immediately after reviewing the intervention

Difference in decisional conflict score between arms. The decisional conflict scale is a 16-item (1-5 scale) validated survey measure that evaluates a participant's decisional conflict about a decision that is made and includes five subdomains (uncertainty, informed, values clarity, support, and effective decision). Total and subdomain scores are calculated using a mean composite score and transformed to a scale of 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating higher decisional conflict.
