Theme 6: Handouts are acceptable when they come from the clinician	“Fine … I think [the messages on the handouts are] pretty routine. And so I didn’t have any emotional, positive or negative, just seemed kind of routine.” [34-year-old male] “Oh [getting a handout would] be fine. Like I was saying, [my doctor]’s honest, I value his opinion, and he elicits the conversation out of you to answer questions that he needs answered, and I need answered, too.” [63-year-old male] “Well, personally in this moment in this body in this soul, I would be fine with [getting a handout]. I’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s okay, I’ll read that.’ But I’m pretty easygoing. There are a lot of people out there who’d probably be like, ‘What the hell? What are they trying to say?’ There could be people who take it wrong. There’s [sic] so many not-balanced people out there that it would be offensive coming from a computer, not a human.” [39-year-old male] “Well, the computer doesn’t know me. The computer’s working off of information that is input into it by someone who doesn’t know me.” [33-year-old male]
