YOUR PARTICIPATION

This Decision Aid allows you to participate to the degree you choose in the decision-making process of using inhaled steroids: There are several approaches:

  • You may want to leave the decision entirely up to your care provider.
  • You may choose to make the decisions alone
  • You may ask your care provider and/or persons close to you to help you with making the decision
If you do not care about being involved in making the decision you may choose to quit the Decision Aid at this point and avoid going through other steps. You can then ask your care provider to make this decision for you.

If you do choose to proceed with the Decision Aid, there are two choices:

  1. Balance the benefits and downsides of inhaled steroids based on your values. You can then use this information to make a decision about using inhaled steroids.
  2. After clarifying your values and preferences, have the Decision Aid balance the benefits and downsides for you and give you a recommendation. You can then use this recommendation to make a decision about using inhaled steroids.


    In addition to helping you decide this aid may help you to find out which of the approaches to making a decision you prefer.
