NB: I havent actually inspected these articles, but these refs were given
for a quote about improved health outcomes with patients who participate in
their treatment decisions.
Hope this helps

Dear list members,
I was hoping that you may be able to help me. I'm searching the literature
for
evidence that shows (or does not show) that providing the patient with
information improves health outcomes (where information can be any
information
at all - e.g. health promotion material, information on medical
devices/pharmaceuticals etc.). The disease categories that I'm interested
in are
coronary heart disease and diabetes.
If anybody knows of any useful references, I'd be very grateful to receive
them.
Best wishes,
Adam
