This study in AIDS and Behavior looked at patient-provider communication in HIV care and the role of shared decision making in improving health outcomes. The authors found that good quality engagement between patients and their healthcare providers was associated with better health-related outcomes. A substantial proportion of patients did not report having good quality engagement and this was associated with significantly poorer outcomes.- Posted

The non-profit Patient Information Forum (PIF) has published a new one-page guide to Body Mass Index (BMI). The poster was developed following user engagement sessions with patients and healthcare professionals which highlighted the amount of misinformation surrounding BMI. It is free to download and share and can be used directly by patients or a resource for healthcare professionals. Welcoming the publication of 'BMI – What you need to know', Dr Juhi Tandon said: “As a GP for more than a decade, I still struggle to have the BMI conversation with patients. Discussing someone’s BMI can easily make them feel uncomfortable as they feel like they are being judged. It will be very helpful to share a clear fact sheet to help patients understand more about BMI in a non-judgemental way.” -
