About this trial
The aim of the DECIdE study is to evaluate the effect of a decision aid (the DECIdE tool) for shared decision making concerning optional prescription drugs on the level of uncertainty-certainty or comfort-inconfort (= decisional conflict) experienced by patients, compared with a condition of routine care without the use of a decision aid.
General practitionners and pharmacists will propose to their patients, complaining of a common symptom for which a drug is usually prescribed or dispensed, to discuss this drug and the symptom in order to reach a shared decision on whether to take it or choose another alternative.
