About

Navigating the risk-benefit profiles of the various biologic options approved for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be challenging for patients who are considering biologic therapies as a treatment option. Thus, there is a need for simple and efficient tools that elicit individual preferences and support the patient-provider interaction.

The principal objective of this study is to assess the impact of an online decision aid called IBD&me on patient perceptions of shared-decision making as compared to a standardized education arm.

Full description

Context: Navigating the risk-benefit profiles of the various biologic options approved for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be challenging for patients who are considering biologic therapies as a treatment option. Thus, there is a need for simple and efficient tools that elicit individual preferences and support the patient-provider interaction.

Objective: The principal objective of this study is to assess the impact of an online decision aid called IBD&me on patient perceptions of shared-decision making as compared to a standardized education arm.

Hypothesis: IBD&me, through optimizing shared-decision making (SDM) and improving the patient-provider interaction, will provide incremental benefits beyond those provided by high-quality educational material without an SDM tool.

Design: Pragmatic multicenter randomized controlled trial in IBD outpatient care

  1. Intervention: IBD&me is an online, freely available tool that allows patients to explore decision-making around biologic therapies for IBD at their own pace
  2. Control arm: Standardized, high-quality educational material from the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation

Online decision aid called IBD&me
Experimental group
Description:
IBD\&me is an online, freely available tool that allows patients to explore decision-making around biologic therapies for IBD at their own pace. It includes an educational component and an interactive exercise with a series of ratings tasks that generates a personalized preferences report for patients to share and discuss with their physician.
Treatment:
Other: Online decision aid called IBD&me
Standardized educational material
Active Comparator group
Description:
PDF file corresponding to the CCFA's online resource on biologic therapies, which is a well-researched and clearly presented overview of IBD biologic therapies, but without an active shared-decision making component.
Treatment:
Other: Standardized educational material
