A patient-centred approach involves patient led conversation where the patient answers open-ended questions based on their knowledge, feelings, and understanding. Explore examples below.
鈥淲hat kinds of drugs have you seen around your school or at parties?鈥� OR: 鈥淒o any of your friends use drugs or alcohol?鈥� (Less personal; eases into a difficult discussion).
鈥淵ou told me you鈥檝e been going out with Steve for the past 3 months. Has your relationship become sexual?鈥� (Context makes question seem less intrusive.) OR: 鈥淎re you attracted to anyone currently?鈥� (non-judgemental).
