Specific Aim 1: Examine acceptability and feasibility of a toolkit of patient decision aids (PtDAs) for patients with heart failure referred for primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillators using a randomized control trial design across three diverse health care systems (Kaiser Colorado, The University of Colorado, and The Denver Veterans Hospital).~Measure the acceptability of the decision aids~Explore feasibility by measuring patient participation rates and adherence to the study protocol across all three sites.~Conduct a preliminary assessment of outcomes by measuring changes in decision quality (knowledge and value concordance), quality of life, depressive symptoms, health status, and spiritual well-being.~Specific Aim 2: Determine the relative value of the various tools in the toolkit through in-depth interviews from study participants and providers at each intervention site
The purpose of this study is to test the acceptability and feasibility of a toolkit of patient decision aids (PtDAs) for heart failure patients who are considering an ICD implant.
