This pilot study will determine the acceptability and usability of a decision-support tool for primary care providers (PCPs) and assess the feasibility of recruitment techniques in preparation for a later trial. The study includes two high-fidelity simulation components.
Simulation 1: The investigators will assess the usability and acceptability of the decision-support tool through direct observation and surveys of PCPs participating in high-fidelity simulations of clinical encounters (N=15). The hypothesis is that the decision-support tool will be acceptable and usable by PCPs.
Simulation 2: The investigators will compare the effect of the decision-support tool on shared decision-making (SDM) in high-fidelity simulated clinical encounters conducted with the tool versus without the tool (N=25 per arm). The hypothesis is that shared decision-making will increase in encounters using the intervention.
