Table 4 The 5-point scale for rating preference for participation in treatment decision making (adapted form Sutherland et al.)

From: Decision making preferences in the medical encounter – a factorial survey design

Please check the statement that best describes what you belief would be ideal:

• The doctor should make the decision using all that is known about the treatment

• The doctor should make the decision but strongly consider the patients opinion

• The doctor and the patient should make the decision together on an equal basis

• The patient should make the decision but strongly consider the doctor's opinion

• The patient should make the decision using all he knows or learns about the treatment
