Shared Decision Making in Mental Health

“In July 2007, a meeting of approximately 50 experts and stakeholders in SDM and mental health was convened in Washington, DC by CMHS. Participants included researchers and SDM providers in general and mental health care, policymakers, and mental health consumers. The meeting provided an opportunity for participants to exchange perspectives on SDM, inform one another of the state of the science and practice of SDM in general and mental health care, and develop recommendations for advancing SDM within the U.S. mental health care field. Participants shared their experiences as consumers and providers of mental health care and offered insights and perspectives on a variety of aspects of SDM.
This report is intended to provide a general overview of SDM and the available research on its effects in both general and mental health care. It includes recommendations from the participants of the SDM meeting.”
