Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a patient decision support tool will help patients make better decisions about oral anticoagulation for stroke reduction in non-valvular atrial fibrillation, especially Black patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Black and White adults over 18 with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who have a CHA2DS2-VASc score of at least 2, indicating a higher risk of stroke. They must be new patients at primary care or cardiology clinics considering starting oral anticoagulation but cannot participate if they can't speak English or provide informed consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether a patient decision support tool can improve the quality of decisions made by patients regarding the use of oral anticoagulants to prevent strokes in NVAF. It aims to see if this tool helps, especially among Black patients, and will assess its feasibility and acceptability.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using a decision support tool rather than medication, there are no direct side effects from drugs being tested. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety when making treatment decisions.
