Measuring shared decision-making in the pediatric outpatient setting: Psychometric performance of the SDM-Q-9 and CollaboRATE among English and Spanish speaking parents in the US Midwest

Known as the “pinnacle of patient-centered care”[1], shared decision-making (SDM) has become a widely-used standard for assessing quality of clinical care. SDM refers to the active participation of both patient and provider in exchanging information and perspectives, building consensus, and reaching an agree ment on a course of action [2–4]. The expanding demand to use SDM as a quality care metric reflects an outpouring of literature demonstrating its positive relationship with patient satisfaction, health outcomes, and cost-effectiveness [5–7].
