Background: We have no clear overview of the extent to which health-care providers involve patients in the decision-making process during consultations. The Observing Patient Involvement in Decision Making instrument (OPTION) was designed to assess this.

We conducted online literature searches in multiple databases (2001-12) and gathered further data through networking.
