Abstract
Youth decision-making involvement (DMI) in medical treatment associates with greater adherence and feelings of self-efficacy. However, little is known about youth DMI regarding medical evaluation and diagnostic procedures. Using thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews, we explored parent (n=24) and youth (n=24) perceptions of youth roles in the decision to undergo evaluation for short stature. Five themes emerged about evaluation decisions including: parents/providers were gatekeepers, some parents sought youth agreement, conversations focused on logistics, some parents gave limited information, and youth expressed anxiety. Results suggest that including youth in discussions about evaluation may alleviate anxiety and uncertainty about upcoming procedures.
