About this trial

This research aims to underpin qualitative work with people living with a diagnosis of AAV and healthcare professionals working with people living with AAV, to explore different perspectives on Shared Decision Making (SDM) in AAV. The aim is to develop key principles to consider in the future development of shared decision-making tools and interventions for use in clinical practice.
