First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a web-based decision-support tool designed to help families and doctors make shared decisions about whether a child should go on chronic home ventilation. Half of the participating families use the tool, while the other half receive usual care. Researchers then measure how prepared parents feel and how well they and their doctors communicate about the decision.
