Patient decision aids for balancing the benefits and harms of health care options: A systematic review and meta-analysis
O'Connor AM, Stacey D, Llewellyn-Thomas H, et al. Patient decision aids for balancing the benefits and harms of health care options: A systematic review and meta-analysis. (Unpublished manuscript, May 2004.)

This unpublished manuscript documents the study done by Annette O'Connor, and her international team of colleagues, testing patient decision aids around the world. Decision aids help patients and members of their care team make "tough" decisions (i.e., those that have multiple options, or uncertain outcomes and harms). The decision aids help patients decide what path they should take with their care by making decisions based on their personal preferences and values.
