A new framework, Population And Context adaption of decision aids (PACE), was developed and piloted to adapt patient decision aids for Chinese-speaking migrant women. The adapted aids were acceptable, demonstrating a systemic approach for cross-cultural adaptation.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Patient Decision Aids
- Health Literacy
Background:
- Patient decision aids (PtDAs) require adaptation for diverse populations.
- Existing adaptation models may not fully address cultural and contextual nuances.
- There is a need for a systematic framework to guide PtDA adaptation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and pilot test a novel framework for adapting PtDAs.
- To adapt contraceptive method PtDAs for Chinese-speaking migrant women in Australia.
- To evaluate the acceptability, usability, and feasibility of the adapted PtDAs.
Main Methods:
- Developed the Population And Context adaption of decision aids (PACE) framework, a six-stage process.
- Incorporated existing models with innovative elements: selection, expert review, pre-testing, translation, needs assessment, and end-user testing.
- Piloted the PACE framework to adapt contraceptive PtDAs, involving 20 healthcare providers and 22 Chinese migrant women.
Main Results:
- Successfully adapted a suite of PtDAs on contraceptive methods.
- Adapted PtDAs were found to be acceptable to Chinese-speaking migrant women.
- Identified lessons learned, including the need for framework flexibility and real-world evaluation.
Conclusions:
- PtDA adaptation necessitates a multi-stage, multidisciplinary, and pragmatic approach.
- The PACE framework offers an innovative and systemic solution for adapting PtDAs for new populations and contexts.
- The study highlights the importance of culturally sensitive and contextually relevant decision support tools.
