Aid for Decision-Making in Occupation Choice (ADOC) was developed to encourage shared decision-making and collaborative goal-setting in daily living activities. This scoping review aimed to review and synthesize research literature regarding ADOC and to identify any existing knowledge gap related to ADOC. The PRISMA-Scoping review was used as a guide. A literature search was retrieved from January 2011 until December 2021 based on four databases; Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed and CINAHL. A total of nine articles (N=9) were included in this review. The findings were arranged in five themes; i) clinical purpose, ii) validity and reliability, iii) target population, iv) utility of ADOC and v) domains and items of ADOC. ADOC provides a client-centred and collaborative approach, highlighting meaningful occupations in daily living and the use of technology in rehabilitation. This review suggests the need for cross-cultural translation and validation of ADOC into the native language before it can be used. © 2022 UPM Press. All rights reserved.
