SURE Test for Decisional Conflict Screening
The SURE Test is a four-item screening questionnaire designed to rapidly identify patients experiencing decisional conflict—uncertainty or difficulty in making healthcare decisions. Developed by Annette O'Connor and colleagues, the SURE Test is an abbreviated, practical version of the longer Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS), created to detect patients who may benefit from decision support or additional counselling. It is widely used in clinical and research settings for quick, valid screening.
