Development of a hydroxyurea decision aid for parents of children with sickle cell anemia.
This study developed a decision aid for use of hydroxyurea for parents of children with sickle cell anemia. There are national evidence-based guidelines, but they do not offer strategies for implementation. A multicomponent decision aid was developed via a needs assessment, clinic observations and iterative feedback. The decision aid was considered useful by the 75 parents and 28 clinicians who participated in all phases of the study.

A randomized comparative trial of two decision tools for pregnant women with prior cesareans.
The authors evaluated tools to help pregnant women with prior cesareans make informed decisions about having trials of labor. They found that women in both groups felt more informed, were more clear about their birth priorities, felt more supported, and overall reported less conflict after receiving either intervention.
