Article Abstract
Objective: Evidence-based decision support resources do not exist for persons with lung cancer. We sought to develop and refine a treatment decision support, or conversation tool, to improve shared decision-making (SDM).
Methods: We conducted a multi-site study among patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who completed or had ongoing lung cancer treatment using semi-structured, cognitive qualitative interviews to assess participant understanding of content. We used an integrated approach of deductive and inductive thematic analysis.
Results: Twenty-seven patients with NSCLC participated. Participants with prior cancer experiences or those with family members with prior cancer experiences reported better preparedness for cancer treatment decision-making. All participants agreed the conversation tool would be helpful to clarify their thinking about values, comparisons, and goals of treatment, and to help patients communicate more effectively with their clinicians.
Conclusion: Participants reported that the tool may empower them with confidence and agency to actively participate in cancer treatment SDM. The conversation tool was acceptable, comprehensible, and usable. Next steps will test effectiveness on patient-centered and decisional outcomes.
Innovation: A personalized conversation tool using consequence tables and core SDM components is novel in that it can encourage a tailored, conversational dynamic and includes patient-centered values along with traditional decisional outcomes.

To study the use of a dementia screening tool in our clinic cohort of adults with Down syndrome. To evaluate the functionality of the NTG-EDSD for Dementia as part of a dementia screening protocol for adults with Down syndrome, we conducted a cohort analysis of patients aged 40 and older followed at the Massachusetts General Hospital Down Syndrome Program, noting any clinical interpretation of dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). From September 2023 to September 2024, 54 NTG-EDSD responses were collected.

Introduction: The Serious Illness Conversation Guide-Pediatrics (SICG-Peds) is a validated tool and training program that increases clinicians' confidence in leading complex conversations with seriously ill pediatric patients and their families. We initiated a pilot project incorporating bereaved parents as facilitators in SICG-Peds education.
Objectives: To assess how incorporating bereaved parents in a facilitator role in the SICG-Peds education program impacted the experience for clinician trainees and clinical facilitators and the parents themselves.

Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone of both disease prevention and long-term condition management, yet it remains absent from many treatment plans, particularly in primary care. Despite clinicians recognising the value of PA, systemic barriers such as time constraints and limited training hinder its integration into everyday consultations. For this reason, there has been a call for further resources to improve clinician confidence in initiating these conversations.

The adolescent mental health crisis is compounded by a shortage of mental health services, which mobile health apps may alleviate. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of the Wysa app (a commercially available app containing cognitive behavioral therapy-based digital modules and an artificial intelligence-based conversational agent) among 13- to 18-year-old adolescents recruited from a primary care clinic in New York City and online from March to June 2022. We assessed adolescent engagement in the Wysa app over a 3-week period.

Background: Simulated Consultation Assessment (SCA) preparation is critical for GP trainees, with the traditional approach relying on trained medical actors. However, limited actor availability, scheduling constraints and high costs often restrict practice opportunities. This evaluation aimed to assess a conversational artificial intelligent (AI) system as an educational tool for GP consultation skills training, examining its acceptability, perceived educational impact and implementation considerations for training.
