Liza-Marie Johnson: How Far Should Clinicians Go to Influence Parents’ Decisions?

Liza-Marie Johnson, Director of The Bioethics Program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Pediatrics, adding:

“Let’s talk about nudges!

Looking for something to read on your way to or from ASBH?

Or perhaps a thought-provoking case to discuss with your pediatric hematology-oncology fellows?

Check out our new Ethics Rounds case in Pediatrics: ‘Parental Refusal of the Best Treatment: Nudges and Trust in Pediatrics.’ American Academy of Pediatrics

When parents choose a good treatment over a better one, how far should clinicians go to influence their decision?

And what role does trust play?

Also, as the new editor of the Ethics Rounds Case series, we’re always looking for an interesting pediatric ethics case, reach out at any time!”
