Pediatric caregiver version of the Shared Decision Making Process Scale: validity and reliability for ADHD treatment decisions.
This study’s goal was to examine the validity and reliability of a scale for a shared decision making (SDM) Process scale in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treatment decisions. This cross-sectional survey included 498 caregivers of children aged 5-13 diagnosed with ADHD who had made a decision about ADHD medication in the last 2 years. Surveys included the adapted SDM Process scale, decisional conflict, decision regret, and decision involvement. The scale was found to be acceptable and reliable. Scores demonstrated convergent validity, as they were higher for those without decisional conflict than those with decisional conflict and higher for caregivers who stated they made the decision with the provider than those who made the decision themselves. Higher scores were related to less regret, though the magnitude of the relationship was small.

What do adolescents and their parents need from mental health integration in primary care? A qualitative exploration of design insights.
The purpose of this study was to 1) explore the challenges of primary care-based mental health and substance use screening and care for adolescents and 2) identify program design solutions. The researchers conducted interviews and focus groups with adolescents receiving care at Kaiser Permanente Washington in 2020, and separate interviews with the parents of the participants. The study found five overarching design principle themes emerged from the 41 interviews and 10 focus groups: 1) Engagement, 2) Privacy, 3) Communication, 4) Choice, and 5) Ease.
