Patient
Decision Aids
Decision aids are used as adjuncts to practitioners' counseling to prepare
patients for decision making. They are interventions designed to help people
make specific and deliberative choices among options by providing
information on the options and outcomes relevant to the person’s
health status. As part of the Cochrane Collaboration Systematic Review of Patient Decision Aids, we have identified several patient decision aids that can be found in the Cochrane Inventory of Existing Patient Decision Aids. (Excel File)
Decision Aids that are up-to-date, complete, and available are reviewed to
create a detailed registry with a rating of their quality using pre-set
evaluation criteria. This detailed registry can be found in the A to Z
Global Inventory of Patient Decision Aids

Framework or by researchers associated with the Ottawa Health Decision
Centre can be found below. This information includes details regarding
the publication of the tool, its developers, sources of funding,
