Dear ISPRN Members,

ISPRN would like to invite expressions of interest to participate in a project which will look at developing a decision aid for the treatment of major depression.

The aid will assist patients and doctors to make a shared decision regarding treatment, based on facts provided in the aid.

A decision aid in the form of a booklet will be developed which will explain all treatment options available to a patient. The aim is to then trial this decision aid in two GP focus groups & two patient focus groups.

We will be using the attached booklet as a basis framework to develop our own aid.

If you are interested in contributing to this project as part of the research team email us isprn-enquiries@uow.edu.au or phone 02 42215958.
