Health and Medicine Decision-Making Study

About the Study

NOTE: This study is no longer recruiting people. 

Researchers are conducting a study to better understand how people make important health decisions and how they feel about those decisions over time. The goal of this study is to learn what factors help patients feel confident and satisfied with their health-related decisions, as well as what may lead to regret or uncertainty later on.

Researchers are inviting people living with complex health conditions—such as cancer, diabetes, or autoimmune disorders—to share their experiences making medical decisions. Participants will be asked about how they worked with their healthcare providers and what resources or information helped them when making important choices about their care.

Insights from this study may help researchers and healthcare providers better understand how to support patients in making informed decisions about their health.
