TL;DR
The findings suggest that if providers use more participatory styles with patients and involve them when making treatment decisions; patients will tell providers more about what they are doing for their health.
Abstract
Our findings suggest that if providers use more participatory styles with patients and involve them when making treatment decisions; patients will tell providers more about what they are doing for their health.

722 Citations2002Michele Heisler, Reynard R. Bouknight +3 more
For patients receiving diabetes care across 25 Veterans’ Affairs facilities, ratings of providers’ communication effectiveness were more important than a participatory decision-making style in predicting diabetes self-management, raising the possibility that both provider styles enhance self- management through increased patient understanding or self-confidence.

The paper takes the reader through the relevant practicalities of model fitting, interpretation and criticism and demonstrates that, in a simple case such as this, analyses based upon these model-based approaches produce reassuringly similar inferences to standard analysesbased upon more conventional methods.
