Credibility & Choice: The Impact on Treatment Decisions

Perceived credibility impacts us in more ways than we know. Whether it be our interactions with our loved ones, our employers or our health care providers. It can change the options provided to us and drastically change the trust between a consumer and provider. Join us as we discuss the impacts that perceived credibility has on an individual and their supporters. Participants should expect to engage in discussions.
