The John M. Eisenberg Center for Clinical Decisions and Communications Science convened scientific meetings to discuss state-of-the-art communication and medical decision-making concepts. Experts in health communication, health literacy, shared decision making, and related fields came together to produce high-quality, scholarly white papers (and stakeholder commentaries) that offer insight into how state-of-the-art advances in medical science can be transformed into state-of-the-art clinical decision making and improved health communication.
White papers and proceedings of the scientific meetings are listed below:
- Communicating Harms and Benefits of Prescription Drugs to Health Care Consumers (2006)
