 Message: Hi there-

I had a faculty resource request that I've been unable to track down. 

The faculty is working with an instrument called the International Patient Decision Aids Standards (IPDAS) (International Patient Decision Aids Standards (IPDAS) Collaboration).

The faculty is trying to find more information on how to use the instrument itself.  Some of the items/questions in the instrument are difficult to interpret.

The articles listed below refer to a manual for the instrument.   The faculty has contacted the author, but hasn't gotten a response.  I've been unable to track down this "manual".

Is anyone familiar with a user manual or user guide when using/applying the IPDAS?  I haven't found anything through the IPDAS website or anyplace else.  Any leads, suggestions or other hep would be much appreciated!
