Hierzu gehört die Vermitt- lung von Informationen und Einsichten zur Erkrankung sowie zu den verschiede- nen möglichen Handlungsoptionen. Am Ende sollte hier eine informierte Ent- scheidung im Sinne der partizipativen Entscheidungsfindung stehen.

However, few patients present clinically significant symptoms. Using a decision-tree approach, this study aimed to identify risk profiles for psychological problems based on measures that can be eas- ily scored and interpreted by healthcare professionals in pediatric settings.
