Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Decisional Conflict Scale
The Decisional Conflict Scale is a 16 Item scale on whether the participants have enough information to make a clear decision. Each item scored from 1-5, where 1 indicates clarity and 5 indicates confusion, with total score ranging from 16-80
Secondary Outcome Measures
Decisional Conflict Scale (16 items)
The Decisional Conflict Scale is a 16 Item scale on whether the participants have enough information to make a clear decision. Each item scored from 1-5, where 1 indicates clarity and 5 indicates confusion, with total score ranging from 16-80
Decision Regret Scale (5 items)
Decision Regret Scale, is scored from 1-5, where 1 indicates they made the right decision and 5 indicates they made the wrong decision. This scale ranges from 5-25
Weighted composite outcome scale according to patient preference
Patient-selected weighted composite outcome scale is a composite scale to consider both decisional conflict and decisional regret scales simultaneously according to the priority based on the survey of 100 potential participants. The rationale for this endpoint is to consider not only the preference of majority patients (73%) but also the minority (27%) participants who prefer the decisional regret scale
Preparation for Decision Making Scale (10 items)
Preparation for Decision Making scale assesses a patient's perception of how useful a decision aid or other decision support intervention is in preparing the respondent to communicate with their practitioner at a consultation focused on making a health decision
Utah-Stanford Atrial Fibrillation Knowledge Assessment
Newly developed assessment for this study to record Atrial Fibrillation Knowledge
Quality of Communication (Based on CAHPS Clinician & Group Survey)
CAHPS 3-item modified version
Atrial Fibrillation Severity Scale (AFSS)
The University of Toronto Atrial Fibrillation Severity Scale (AFSS) is a questionnaire designed for patients with AFib. It consists of 19 items combined into 3 parts to capture total AF burden, health care utilization, and the severity of AFib related symptoms

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
A multi-center, randomized controlled 2-arm trial comparing the effectiveness of an innovative shared decision-making pathway and usual care for Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Prevention
Detailed Description
This study will test to see if a new type of decision-making process tool, called a Shared Decision Making Pathway, can make a difference in decreasing the risk of stroke due to a condition called Atrial Fibrillation (AFib.) This online tool is designed to help doctors and patients decide together on treatment options for AFib.

Intervention Description
The intervention involves a clear pathway centered on the use of a web-based decision tool. This tool aims to support the shared decision-making process for anticoagulation for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. This web-based tool will be used both by the participants as well the physician responsible for atrial fibrillation decision making.
