Figure 4. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities in shared decision-making (SDM) in systemically disadvantaged populations with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Figure 4.

Knowledge gaps were organized around the Ottawa Decision Support Framework,57 which states that people have decision needs that can be addressed through decision support to improve decision outcomes. Knowledge gaps include 1) how do education level and cognitive impairment influence decision-making in AF, and what is their relationship to outcomes; 2) how does healthcare access influence decision-making in AF and outcomes. To determine the most effective decision aid to improve patient reported measures and clinical outcomes, it is necessary to address whether cultural tailoring improves the outcomes of decision interventions and the incorporation of trusted messengers in SDM in AF.
