Approach to assessing and using clinical practice guidelines.
Knowing when to use guidelines in clinical practice requires neurologists to assess the rigor of published guidelines. This review briefly describes guideline definitions and the American Academy of Neurology process for guideline development, outlines key elements for assessing guideline quality, and details a practical approach for incorporating guideline recommendations when partnering with patients in shared decision-making.

Decision aid use during post-biopsy consultations for localized prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study was to characterize the content and communicative function of high-quality decision aids during diagnostic clinic visits for prostate cancer. Results showed that good decision aids, systematically provided to patients, appeared to function not to open up deliberations about how to balance benefits and harms of competing treatments, but rather to allow patients to ask narrow technical questions about recommended treatments.
