BACKGROUND Digital tools have the potential to support patient activation and shared decision making in the face of increasing levels of mental health problems in young people. There is a need for feasibility trials of digital interventions to determine the usage and acceptability of interventions. In addition, there is a need to determine the ability to recruit and retain research participants to plan rigorous effectiveness trials and therefore, develop evidence-based recommendations for practice. OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility of undertaking a cluster randomized control trial to test the effectiveness of a smartphone app, Power Up, co-designed with young people to support patient activation and shared decision making for mental health. METHODS Overall, 270 young people were screened for participation and 53% (N = 142) were recruited and completed baseline measures across eight specialist child mental health services (n = 62, mean (SD) age = 14.66 (1.99) years, 52% female) and two mainstream secondary schools (n = 80; mean (SD) age = 16.88 (0.68) years, 46% female). Young people received Power Up in addition to management as usual or received management as usual only. Post-trial interviews were conducted with 11 young people from the intervention arms (specialist services n = 6; schools n = 5). RESULTS Usage data showed that there were an estimated 50 (out of 64) users of Power Up in the intervention arms. Findings from the interviews indicated that young people found Power Up to be acceptable. Young people reported: 1) their motivation for use of Power Up, 2) the impact of use, and 3) barriers to use. Out of the 142 recruited participants, 45% (64/142) completed follow up measures, and the approaches to increase retention agreed by the steering group are discussed. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present research indicate that the app is acceptable and it is feasible to examine the effectiveness of Power Up in a prospective cluster randomized control trial.

Introduction: Though engaging patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in the decision-making process for stroke prevention is encouraged by guidelines, little is known about the extent of, and the factors associated with, patient engagement in this process. Hypothesis: Patient engagement in shared decision-making (SDM) would be modest and that older participants will less likely engage in SDM for stroke prevention. Methods: Data are from the ongoing SAGE (Systematic Assessment of Geriatric Elements)-AF study which enrolled older adults aged 65 years and older with AF from clinics in Massachusetts and Georgia. Participants on an oral anticoagulant (OAC) reported whether they were engaged in the decision to be on an OAC by answering “Yes” to the question: “Did you participate actively in choosing to take an OAC?”. We used multiple logistic regression analysis to examine the sociodemographic, geriatric, psychosocial, and clinical factors associated with patient engagement in SDM for stroke prevention. Results: Participants (N= 807) were on average 75 years old and 48% were female. Approximately, 61% engaged in the decision to be on an OAC. Participants aged 80 years and older (aOR= 0.53; 95 % CI:0.31-0.89) and those cognitively impaired (aOR= 0.69; 95 % CI: 0.48, 0.99) were less likely to engage in SDM than respective comparison groups. Participants who reported being very knowledgeable of their AF associated risk of stroke had higher odds of engaging in SDM than those with less knowledge (aOR= 3.06; 95 % CI:1.59, 5.90). Conclusions: Clinicians should identify older patients and those who are cognitively impaired who are less likely to engage in SDM for stroke prevention, promote patient engagement, and provide support to ensure sustained engagement that would enhance long-term treatment outcomes for patients with AF.

There are limited published studies on patient engagement, including shared decision-making, in adolescents and young adults with complex congenital or post-traumatic hip disorders. Despite the limited number of papers, we aim to clearly summarize what is currently available in the literature using a systematic review approach. We hope this serves as a call to action and catalyst for more work in this field. Future research must focus on awareness of what matters most to patients (values), and the development, implementation, and barriers to the use of decision aids and patient engagement optimization specific to hip disease in young adults.
