Brief Summary

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the utility of a new electronic patient decision aid for stroke prevention therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the patient decision aid acceptable to both patients and physicians? Does the patient decision aid lead to more effective shared decision-making than standard care among patients with atrial fibrillation who are considering stroke prevention therapy? Participants with a recent diagnosis of atrial fibrillation will be enrolled before an upcoming specialist physician visit. Researchers will compare a pre-visit intervention consisting of standard educational materials plus use of the patient decision aid to educational materials alone to see if using the decision aid results in improved shared decision making during the clinic visit.
