This episode explores how clinicians currently involve adolescents in their medical decision making, and how they should involve them. We unpack the tricky transitory space that exists between deciding for younger children, to deciding with these young people who have an increased capacity for reasoning, weighing choices and decision-making. We also consider how far paediatricians should go to promote decision making with adolescents. Host: Prof John Massie. Guests: Dr Mick Creati, RCH adolescent physician and Prof Lynn Gillam, Children's Bioethics Centre, RCH.
