Ms. Mancini is a Senior Clinical Research Coordinator with the Health Decision Sciences Center. Her interests include exploring conversations involving shared decision-making in the healthcare setting and the potential for improving patient provider relationships with inclusion of patient voice and individual values when considering treatment options.

She satisfies her passion for patient-centered care by supporting a study funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute aiming to promote shared decision-making conversations for cancer screening among patients 75 years and older. In addition, she aids in evaluating the validity and expanding generalizability of the Shared Decision Making (SDM) Process survey for decisions related to cancer screening, elective surgery, and use of medications for treatment of depression and ADHD. This study is made possible by funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
