This article affirms the Task Force’s view that patients have the right to be informed and involved in decisions about their preventive care. The article advocates for shared decision-making, an approach in which patients and clinicians make health decisions together, which may be useful for reducing health inequities. The article contains a call for more evidence to determine if shared decision-making reduces inequities and to explore new strategies that can help primary care clinicians find the time for these preventive care discussions.
