Purpose

It is hypothesized that the introduction of decision aids will improve the quality of treatment decisions regarding fracture by leading to bisphosphonate start eliciting patient involvment in the decision making process. It is hypothesized that patients will become more involved in the decision making process and decisions will be more consistent with patients’ lifestyles–decision aids (DAs) will lead to bisphosphonate start and adherence in patients at high risk of fracture and to patients stopping medication or not starting in patients at low risk.
