NCT06102330

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter study to test a decision-making support process for families and clinicians facing decisions about chronic home ventilation for a child. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will increase family preparedness for decision-making and will improve clinician-family shared-decision making. Half of families will be assigned to "usual care" arm and half to the "intervention" arm. Intervention families will view the study website with study staff and will answer questions related to website content. All families will be interviewed and surveyed at 1, 6 and 12 months after enrollment. Each family will designate 1-2 physician involved in the decision about home ventilation; each physician will be interviewed and surveyed at 1 month.

    The Preparedness for Decision Making scale has a possible score range of 0-100. Higher score means more prepared.

    1 month

  • Shared Decision Making among parents making decisions about home ventilation as assessed by the CollaboRATE-Parent version scale

    The CollaboRATE-Parent version scale is a 3 item measure. Score range 0-27. Higher score means better shared decision making.

    1 month

    1 month

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in decision making regret among parents who chose for or against home ventilation as assessed by the Decision Regret Scale

    6 months, 12 months

  • Change in Quality of Life expected vs. actual, among parents who faced choice about home ventilation as assessed by the Pediatric Quality of Life Family Impact Module (PEDSQL) scale

    6 months, 12 months

  • Change in Impact of decision about home on daily life of child/ family as assessed by a qualitative interview

    6 months, 12 months
