RAPID AFib Decision Aid for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation (NCT05900414)

Pilot Clinical Trial of the Risk Assessment and Personal Preference to Improve Decisions in Atrial Fibrillation Patient Decision Aid for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: the RAPID AFib Pilot Trial.

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of Calgary

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the utility of a new electronic patient decision aid for stroke prevention therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the patient decision aid acceptable to both patients and physicians? Does the patient decision aid lead to more effective shared decision-making than standard care among patients with atrial fibrillation who are considering stroke prevention therapy? Participants with a recent diagnosis of atrial fibrillation will be enrolled before an upcoming specialist physician visit. Researchers will compare a pre-visit intervention consisting of standard educational materials plus use of the patient decision aid to educational materials alone to see if using the decision aid results in improved shared decision making during the clinic visit.
