Wide-ranging coverage offers a robust evidence base for understanding decision making across the lifespan, among family members, in the context of evolving healthcare systems, and in the face of life-changing diagnosis. The section on applied decision making reviews the effectiveness of decision-making tools in healthcare, featuring real-world examples and guidelines for tailored communications with patients. Throughout, contributors spotlight the practical importance of the field and the pressing need to strengthen health decision-making skills on both sides of the clinician/client dyad. Among the Handbook’s topics: ✓ From laboratory to clinic and back: connecting neuroeconomic and clinical measures of decision-making dysfunctions. ✓ Strategies to promote the maintenance of behavior change: moving from theoretical principles to practices. ✓ Shared decision making and the patient-provider relationship. ✓ Overcoming the many pitfalls of communicating risk. ✓ Evidence-based medicine and decision-making policy. ✓ The internet, social media, and health decision making.
