Active roles I prefer to make the decision about which treatment I will receive. (Pure autonomy) I prefer to make the final decision about my treatment after seriously considering my doctor’s opinion. (Informed choice) I prefer that my doctor and I share responsibility for deciding which treatment is best for me. (Shared decision making)

Passive roles I prefer that my doctor makes the final decision about which treatment will be used, but seriously considers my opinion. (Professional-as-agent) I prefer to leave all decisions regarding treatment to my doctor. (Paternalistic)
