This study aimed to explore what factors are related to Black men’s shared decision-making (SDM) preferences for selecting hypertension (HTN) treatment and management options with a healthcare clinician. Methods. Researchers employed an exploratory sequential mixed methods design to explore factors influencing Black adult men's preferences for involvement in SDM regarding HTN treatment. Qualitative interviews with N=16 Black men identified factors related to SDM involvement, while a quantitative phase with N=105 Black men examined factors that could predict the level of involvement in SDM for HTN treatment. Results. Trust and having a female clinician were a significant independent predictor of decision-making involvement among men in this study (b = 9.09; t(102) = 3.07; p = .003). Engaging in the SDM process with a female clinician increased the desired level of decision-making involvement for HTN treatment and management. Conclusion. Findings from this study suggest that clinician gender is a key factor that influences SDM involvement preferences. Future research should focus on targeted questions to delve deeper into the specific aspects of SDM in gender-discordant patient-clinician relationships.","abstract_html":"Purpose.
