Our team has just published a Cochrane systematic review entitled: Interventions for increasing the use of shared decision making by healthcare professionals. Shared decision making (SDM) is a process by which a healthcare choice is made by the patient, significant others, or both with one or more healthcare professionals. However, it has not yet been widely adopted in practice. This is the second update of this Cochrane review, which aimed to determine the effectiveness of interventions for increasing the use of SDM by healthcare professionals. We considered interventions targeting patients, interventions targeting healthcare professionals, and interventions targeting both. Data analysis revealed that the certainty of the evidence is low or very low, and therefore we cannot be certain yet which interventions for increasing the use of SDM by healthcare professionals are effective.
