Research summary
AI-generated

Celia E. Wills' research focuses on how patients and healthcare providers make decisions together, especially around treatment choices when there is no single 'best' medical option. Her work includes developing and evaluating tools ('patient decision aids') that help people clarify their personal values and preferences, and creating standards for how such tools should be tested and reported. Studies span areas like psychotherapy decision-making for youth, cancer-related quality of life, and broader shared decision-making practices in healthcare.
