Study Summary

The purpose of this controlled pilot study is to determine whether an intervention aimed at patients will improve partnering, shared decision-making and open communication. Results from this pilot study will inform how to best proceed with a larger multi-centered randomized controlled trial. The specific hypothesis for this pilot study is to: 1. Test the feasibility of a simple patient-centered intervention. 2. Test the correlation between patient readiness to actively engage in conversation (assessed using a pre-visit patient survey) and actual patient behaviors in the encounter. 3. Develop a coding tool that will quantify patient activation in clinical encounters. 4. Test whether activating patients who are more involved and revealing in the patient-clinician dyad will improve patient and clinician outcomes.

Primary Outcome

Assessed from transcribed audio-tapes of the doctor-patient encounter using Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS).
