Shared decision making among clinicians and Asian American and Pacific Islander sexual and gender minorities: an intersectional approach to address a critical care gap.
The authors illustrated how issues at the intersection of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) and sexual and gender minorities (SGM) identities affect shared decision making processes and health outcomes. They discussed experiences of AAPI SGM that are affected by AAPI heterogeneity, SGM stigma, multiple minority group identities, and sources of discrimination.

Improving shared decision making with LGBT racial and ethnic minority patients.
In 2014, the authors' team at the University of Chicago, supported by funds from AHRQ and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund, began examining how to reduce disparities for LGBT racial/ethnic minority patients through improved shared decisionmaking (SDM). Their three goals are to review what is known, to perform interviews and focus groups of patients and clinicians, and to develop tools and resources. The three articles in this issue’s JGIM symposium on "Improving Shared Decision Making with LGBT Racial and Ethnic Minority Patients" reflect their initial foundational work.

Personalized strategies to activate and empower patients in health care and reduce health disparities.
The authors proposed a patient-centered, multilevel activation and empowerment framework to inform the development of culturally informed personalized patient activation and empowerment (P-PAE) interventions to improve population health and reduce racial and ethnic disparities. They believe the P-PAE model is timely and sustainable and will be critical to engaging patients in their treatment, developing patients' abilities to manage their health, helping patients express concerns and preferences regarding treatment, empowering patients to ask questions about treatment options, and building up strategic patient-provider partnerships through shared decision making.
