For example, decision-making around risky sexual behavior involves both probability information (ie, perceived likelihood of contracting HIV or another STD by engaging in this behavior) and risk information (ie, integration of these probabilities with both negative value placed on HIV/STD infection and the positive value placed on having unprotected sex).
For example, decisions made in congruence with a dominant cycle will likely result in positive and magnified outcomes, whereas those decisions that are incongruent or not in synch with the evolving cycle will likely have poor or detrimental outcomes.
33 For example, shared decision making with patients is being promoted and achieves more conservative antibiotic prescribing in efficacy studies.
