Use of a Patient Decision Aid for Gastrologic Endoscopy in a Pediatric Setting

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Endoscopy

In brief

Parents need understandable information in order to make appropriate choices for their child's health care. This is especially true when making decisions about invasive medical procedures. Parents need to understand what will happen, the risks involved, how these risks will be managed and what other options they have before they can decide what is best for their child. The present proposal involves the creation of a novel patient decision aid about the gastro endoscopy procedure, called a "scope." The purpose of the aid is to provide parents with information so they are able to discuss the options with their child's health care providers.
