Via skype, participants communicated with six simulated patients. All conversations were transcribed and a blinded rater assessed them with the OPTION scale for shared decision-making.RESULTS: The WHI group received significantly (p < .001) higher total scores for shared decision-making with the OPTION scale than the non-WHI group. The greatest differences in scores were found for the items {"}The clinician checks that the patient has understood the information.{"} (WHI: 2.98 ± 0.77 vs. non-WHI: 2.61 ± 0.89, p < .001) and {"}The clinician offers the patient explicit opportunities to ask questions during the decision-making process.{"} (WHI: 2.83 ± 1.00 vs. non-WHI: 2.40 ± 1.07, p < .001).CONCLUSION: Written translation of medical documents is associated with significantly better OPTION scores for shared decision-making in simulated physician-patient encounters.PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: To use written medial translation exercises in general to improve medical students' shared decision-making skills.",
