Methods
The HELP-study is designed as a randomized, controlled, open monocenter trial with two parallel groups. The intervention consists of the use of the HELP decision aid brochure, accompanied by a decision coaching session. The primary endpoint is clarity of personal attitude as operationalized by the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) after the decision coaching. Randomization will be performed as stratified block randomization according to the characteristic of preferred decision-making at baseline with a 1:1 allocation.The participants in the control group get usual care, i.e., the doctor-patient conversation takes place without preliminary coaching and deliberation about their preferences and goals.
