المستخلص : Objectives: to assess physicians’ and patients’ views in Saudi Arabia (KSA) towards involving the patient versus the family in the process of diagnosis disclosure and decision-making, and to compare them with views from the USA and Japan. Design: A self-completion questionnaire (used previously to study these issues in Japan and the USA) was translated to Arabic and validated. Participants: Physicians (n=321) from different specialties and ranks and patients (n=264) in a hospital or attending outpatient clinics from 6 different regions in KSA. Results: In the case of a patient with incurable cancer, 67% of doctors and 51% of patients indicated that they would inform the patient in preference to the family of the diagnosis (p=0.001). Assuming the family already knew, 56% of doctors and 49% of patients would tell the patient even if family objected (p NS). However, in the case of HIV infection, 59% of physicians and 81% of patients would inform the family about HIV status without the patient’s consent (p=0.001).

Finally, the majority of doctors and patients (.85%) were against assisted suicide
