Such patient-generated lists and agendas have potential benefits for streamlining healthcare decisions but may also derail patient-physician communication by introducing extraneous detail. It remains unclear whether older adults are more likely than younger adults to prepare written materials, as they are generally less likely to engage in pre-decisional information-seeking, but more likely to use external memory aids, and more likely to manage complex health conditions that would benefit from written documentation. To address this question, an adult lifespan sample (n = 457; Mage = 51.50; SDage = 19.00, aged 18-99 years) completed a pre-registered online survey assessing demographics, personality, health status, health-related attitudes, the timing of their most recent healthcare visit, and whether they brought written material to the visit. Logistic regressions revealed that those who brought written materials were significantly older (p \u003C .01) and more likely to be male (p \u003C .05). They also scored higher on neuroticism and reported more recent healthcare visits, a higher importance of being informed about their health, but a lower understanding of their health condition (all ps\u003C.05). None of the other covariates showed significant associations with using written materials. Further research is needed to examine potential implications of older adults’ use of written materials for healthcare outcomes and patient satisfaction.","cbCaihhV11xObhfr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihhV11xObhfr","pdf",403274,"English","# Study question and background\n## Participants and measures\n## Key statistical findings\n## Implications and future research","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the study address about written materials in healthcare visits?\",\"answer\":\"The study addresses whether written materials streamline healthcare decisions or interfere with patient–physician communication by adding unnecessary detail, and whether age affects the likelihood of bringing such materials.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted and what did participants report?\",\"answer\":\"An adult lifespan sample of 457 participants completed a pre-registered online survey covering demographics, personality, health status, timing of their most recent healthcare visit, and whether they brought written materials to that visit.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors were associated with bringing written materials to healthcare visits?\",\"answer\":\"Bringing written materials was associated with being significantly older, more likely male, higher neuroticism, more recent healthcare visits, and greater importance placed on being informed, alongside lower understanding of the health condition.\"}]","AGE DIFFERENCES IN THE USE OF WRITTEN MATERIALS DURING HEALTHCARE VISITS | PDF",1790642173]
