More specifically, the non-health outcomes knowledge sharing and increased confidence from Borghi and Jan [ 15] are very similar to the outcomes knowledge about a certain health problem and self-confidence.
For example, drawing from O'Connor's Cochrane review on decision aids [ 28], the outcomes knowledge, accuracy of risk perception and realism of expectations would all map onto the outcome taxonomy category of 'consumer knowledge and understanding'.
A clinically significant and relevant difference in the principal outcome, knowledge, between the two groups, will be set at 20%.
Of particular interest is the effect on the principal outcome, knowledge, thereby allowing an assessment of knowledge retention.
Furthermore, the patients' outcome knowledge, and not response knowledge, was positively correlated with difference scores from the slips-of-action test (r=0.61, p<0.005), indicating that the failure to acquire outcome knowledge during the training stage was associated with habitual response control during the slips-of-action test.
The principal outcome, knowledge, and four other outcome measures – attitudes to testing, decision conflict, anxiety and intention to undergo testing – will be measured with an online questionnaire, used by men in three of the study groups.
First, to determine if there were differences in the outcome variables (knowledge of terms and MATE score) across groups for each of the predictor variables, ANOVA models were run.
The fixed-effects approach yields an estimate of the within-subject change in the outcome variables (knowledge and self-efficacy).
The fixed-effects approach yields an estimate of the within-subject change in the outcome variables (knowledge and self-efficacy) [ 31].
For the purpose of analysis, the outcome variables "knowledge" and "attitudes" originally consisting of multiple categories were collapsed into two levels.
