My research interest lies in adapting shared decision making (SDM) for use in culturally diverse settings. I work on SDM in Malaysia, a multi-cultural country where relationships between doctors, patients and families are mediated by a complex web of culture, tradition, hierarchy and a dual-sector public/private healthcare system. My PhD research was focused on developing a model of patient values in SDM. I have developed a simple model of patient values which can be used as an intuitive guide to elicit values and preferences in consultations.
