Summary

This trial will compare how well two different aids work in helping people with atrial fibrillation make decisions about their care, and whether adopting the aid leads to better health outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Atrial Fibrillation who are aware of their condition and have an increased risk of blood clots. It's open to patients at certain sites where clinicians are involved in managing anticoagulation therapy, without exclusions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using a Patient Decision Aid (PDA) and an Encounter Decision Aid (EDA) together helps better shared decision-making and adherence to blood thinner treatments compared to using each tool alone in people with Atrial Fibrillation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve decision aids rather than medications, there aren't direct side effects like those from drugs. However, participants may experience stress or confusion when making treatment decisions.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Patient Decision AidExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this arm will use the Patient Decision Aid (PDA), an online education tool about atrial fibrillation designed for patient use, prior to the encounter with their provider.
Group II: Patient & Encounter Decision AidsExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in this arm will use both the PDA & EDA as described above.
Group III: Encounter Decision AidExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this arm will use the Encounter Decision Aid (EDA), an online educational tool about atrial fibrillation designed for patient-provider use, during the encounter with their provider.
Group IV: Standard CareActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in this arm will receive standard care, that is they will not use either the PDA or EDA.
