All results are based on 653 participants who received risk information and completed the questionnaires.
Participants received risk reduction counselling and access to condoms at all visits.
Two were cluster randomised studies in which physicians in the intervention group received risk information about their patients.
In addition, we examined the extent to which women understood the genomic test information received, risk perception, knowledge, and satisfaction with provided information and with the clinical process.
Patient received risk factor modification advice before leaving the hospital unless patient had severe cognitive impairment or communication impairment, or otherwise contraindicated‡ 14.
All participants received risk reduction counseling, condoms and sterile syringes, with referrals for detoxification and needle and syringe programs (NSPs) upon request.
Feedback has been offered to 866 women at high-risk, including those with moderate risk + >60%% (high) mammographic density (which equates to an 8%10-year10-year), and 568 (78.5 %) of these women have received risk feedback.
In this case, the table indicates that communicating risk information about both heart disease and breast cancer in absolute risk terms significantly changes positive recommendations compared to scenarios in which respondents received risk information in other combinations of formats.
Similar pattern of results were present when the comparison was made between those who received risk estimate + lifestyle advice (mean 35.6, SD 18.6) and those who received lifestyle advice only (mean 41.8, SD 20.7, p=0.14).
A small-scale study (n = 84) in Singapore on willingness to receive an influenza vaccine among healthcare workers and students showed only a small difference between those who received risk information in frequency versus percentage format [ 2].
A similar pattern of results was seen when the comparison was made between those who received risk estimate + lifestyle advice (mean change −0.003, SD 0.08) and those who received lifestyle advice only (mean change 0.02, SD 0.11; p=0.442).
