Are long-term cancer survivors and physicians discussing health promotion and healthy behaviors?
This study aimed to (1) describe the proportion of survivors reporting that a physician discussed strategies to improve health and (2) identify which groups are more likely to report these discussions. It concluded that the frequency of health promotion discussions varied across survivor characteristics. Discussions were more frequently reported by some groups, e.g., survivors with diabetes, or among individuals less likely to engage in healthy behaviors.

Gastroenterologists' views of shared decision making for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
The researchers examined gastroenterologists' perspectives about shared decision making (SDM) with patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). They found three key barriers to practicing SDM were lack of time, reimbursement, and tools. They concluded that gastroenterologists lack the systematic approaches and tools for implementing SDM within their IBD practices.
