Shared decision-making among people with problematic alcohol/other drug use and co-occurring mental health conditions: A systematic review.

This is the first rigorous synthesis of the empirical literature on SDM in co-occurring AOD and mental health conditions. SDM remains a nascent area of research in comorbidity treatment. Preliminary evidence supports SDM's acceptability, feasibility and utility in managing mental health and AOD comorbidities. Further research is needed to build the evidence base, especially with regard to the efficacy of SDM at improving patient-related outcomes.
