Two six-minute counseling videos were produced on this basis: one medicalized, by an endocrinologist, the other demedicalized, by a psychologist. Third-year medical students (N\u2009=\u200989) were randomized to watch either video as prospective parents and report its impact on their decision in a self-administered questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Outcome Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Statistical analysis of questionnaire responses regarding decisions for or against surgery, including self-assessed impact of potential determinants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty-eight of eighty-nine \u201cparents\u201d (43%) chose early surgery for \u201ctheir\u201d child, including 27\/41 \u201cparents\u201d (66%) shown the medicalized video vs. 11\/48 (23%) shown the demedicalized video (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Desired aims for \u201ctheir\u201d child also differed significantly depending on the counseling approach viewed.

In the absence of conclusive data for or against early surgery, there is a danger of medicalized or demedicalized parentalism resulting in irreversible and inadequately grounded decisions, regardless of the consensus statement of 2005 and the subsequent call for multidisciplinary management.<\/jats:p>\n
