Objectives: Shared decision making (SDM), an approach for client-centered care, gives clients a role in their health management. The purpose was to assess a SDM training program’s effectiveness for master of occupational therapy (MOT) and social work (MSW) students, and participants at the 2021 Indiana Occupational Therapy Association (IOTA) fall conference. Study Design: Mixed methods program evaluation. Methods: Training and evaluation methodology included the six disciplines of learning (Pollock et al., 2015) when implementing the SDM training program, and the four levels of evaluation of Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick (2016) to promote and evaluate the transfer of learning post-training. A variety of surveys for each evaluation level formed the basis for criteria to determine effectiveness for each outcome and for the overall program. Results: Knowledge scores improved from pretest to posttest for all participants [ t (28) = 5.957,p = .001], as well as improved for attitude scores [F(1, 22) = 24.51, p < .001]. Study participants exhibited a strong confidence in applying SDM knowledge in their settings, M = 8.24, SD =1.261, 95% CI [7.66-8.81], and a high level of commitment to applying SDM in future practice M = 8.33, SD = 2.153, 95% CI [7.35-9.31]. We met the required criteria for program effectiveness. Conclusions: The SDM training program is a facilitator of client-centered practice giving clients an active role in their care. Knowledge and attitudes of students and practitioners towards SDM improvement highlights the need for SDM training in educational and clinical setting.
