Patient decision aids for colorectal cancer screening: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This systematic review describes studies evaluating patient decision aids for colorectal cancer screening in average-risk adults and their impact on knowledge, screening intentions, and uptake. It concluded that decision aids improve knowledge and interest in screening, and lead to increased screening over no information, but their impact on screening is similar to general colorectal cancer screening information.

A mixed methods study of parental vaccine decision making and parent-provider trust.
Given the growing public health problem of parental vaccine hesitancy, researchers investigated parental vaccine decisionmaking through the use of focus groups and a mailed survey. They found that parents had overall trust in their pediatricians but not in the information they provided about vaccines. Parents refusing or delaying vaccines were twice as likely to begin thinking about vaccines before their child was born.
