Shared Decision Making in Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

"Participants in the intervention group and their families will be referred to the DC to meet independently and discuss recommended treatment pathways.~Multiple sessions may be necessary until a final decision is reached. All SDM consults will be done virtually using a secure videoconferencing platform. The Ottawa Family Decision Guide will be used to facilitate the discussion. A DA will be provided to the study participants in the form of information cards containing information about different treatment options in pediatric IBD. This includes administration schedule, side effects, risk of cancer, among others. The DA has been developed and provided by the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and adapted to the Canadian setting with electronic version by this research group with approval from the authors."
