17satisfaction. Physicians <strong>in</strong> these studies expressed concern about the decision-mak<strong>in</strong>gcapability of consumers with schizophrenia.Specific studies highlighted by Dr. Wills <strong>in</strong>clude:• A survey of 96 consumers with schizophrenia found most were <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong>SDM especially <strong>in</strong> regard to medication (Bunn, O’Connor, Tansey, Jones, &St<strong>in</strong>son, 1997);• A randomized control trial of SDM among consumers with schizophrenia <strong>in</strong>Berl<strong>in</strong> found that those <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> SDM were more knowledgeable than those<strong>in</strong> usual care (Hamann, Cohen, Leucht, Busch, & Kissl<strong>in</strong>g, 2005; Hamann etal., 2006);• SDM was associated with improved social <strong>in</strong>teraction and satisfaction <strong>in</strong> a2-year randomized control trial of two Swedish community-based treatmentprograms for people with schizophrenia (Malm, Ivarsson, Allebeck, & Falloon,2003); and• An <strong>in</strong>tervention study at Michigan State University of persons with diabeteswho also have depression found improved knowledge, improvement <strong>in</strong> decisionstage, greater satisfaction with decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g, improved <strong>in</strong>volvement,and decreased depression and stress with SDM (Wills, 2006).Dr. Wills reported that the Michigan State University study <strong>in</strong>cluded an analysisof the feasibility of the <strong>in</strong>tervention—a depression decision support booklet. Thebooklet was evaluated as easy to read, and more than 80 percent of participants reportedthat the time required to complete the materials, the amount of <strong>in</strong>formation,and the balance of <strong>in</strong>formation provided were appropriate. The decision-mak<strong>in</strong>gexercises were found to be helpful <strong>in</strong> activat<strong>in</strong>g or clarify<strong>in</strong>g consumers’ th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>gabout decisions, and case illustrations of others’ decisions were reported to be veryhelpful. Consumers with more severe depression or lower education levels reportedthat the materials required effort, but were still helpful. Project partners perceivedthe <strong>in</strong>tervention to be a value-added aspect of diabetes self-management educationand described it as a feasible <strong>in</strong>tervention.Liability ConcernsThe doctor-patient relationship is def<strong>in</strong>ed to <strong>in</strong>clude legal and f<strong>in</strong>ancial responsibilitiesand rights. The effect of employ<strong>in</strong>g SDM with<strong>in</strong> a mental health care sett<strong>in</strong>gmust be explored <strong>in</strong> light of these exist<strong>in</strong>g rights and responsibilities. Participants atthe SDM meet<strong>in</strong>g suggested that other models might <strong>in</strong>form new understand<strong>in</strong>gs ofresponsibilities and liability <strong>in</strong> the context of SDM. For example, a tax accountant isa professional with particular expertise hired to provide particular services. The honest<strong>in</strong>put of the consumer, however, is understood to be critical to the accountant’sability to provide those services.<strong>Shared</strong> <strong>Decision</strong>-<strong>Mak<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Care</strong>:Practice, Research, and Future Directions
