Despite increasing interest in patient-clinician shared decision making (SDM), the actual use of SDM techniques in usual care remains suboptimal.  Decision aids and similar decision-making tools hold promise to improve SDM around health care decisions, yet recent articles and editorials point out that these tools are frequently underutilized in clinical practice, and decision aids that are used do not always have strong methodologic input and testing before dissemination.  The goal of this symposium is to discuss examples of implementing decision aids into real-world settings, including implications for researchers, decision aid developers, clinicians, and policy makers.
