A multidisciplinary steering group \u2013 including individuals with lived experience, clinicians, and researchers \u2013 co-developed the PDA.

Ratings improved with each iteration, with version 3 receiving near-perfect scores on clarity, usefulness and balance. Users described the tool as relatable and empowering. The inclusion of real-life stories and visual decision exercises were particularly valued.
