The Center for Informed Choice at The Dartmouth Institute
Research Projects
Future Plans and Research: The Center for Informed Choice plans to implement a number of strategies that provide models for “knitting together” research and clinical practice in informed choice. One such initiative may be the integration of informed choice into the “medical home” concept, which is now being developed around the country. The CIC will focus on building strategic alliances with other health care systems to further implement the principles and practice of informed choice across the country.
Specific research projects now underway include:
