Communicating Relative Risk Changes with Baseline Risk: Presentation Format and Numeracy Matter.
BACKGROUND Treatment benefits and harms are often communicated as relative risk reductions and increases, which are frequently misunderstood by doctors and patients. One suggestion for improving understanding of such risk information is to also communicate the baseline risk. We investigated 1) whether the presentation format of the baseline risk influences understanding of relative risk changes...
متن کاملImplementing GRADE: calculating the risk difference from the baseline risk and the relative risk
A key step in implementing the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) system is the estimation of a risk difference based on estimates of the baseline risk and the relative risk estimated from different sources. In this paper we describe a simple and effective method to calculate confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk difference for this situation. Whenever a...
متن کاملCommunicating risk.
Risk is the probability that a hazard will give rise to harm.Risk communication is defined as the open two way exchange of information and opinion about harms and benefits, with the aim of improving the understanding of risk and of promoting better decisions about clinical management. Risk communication should therefore cover the probability of the risk occurring, the importance of the adverse ...
متن کاملCommunicating health risk.
Health risk communication is a two way interactive process that involves the exchange of information among interested parties about the nature, magnitude, significance, or control of a risk. Although it has only recently become a topic for scientific research, much has been learned in relation to the strategies and the techniques that contribute to effective health risk communication. In parall...
متن کاملCommunicating genetic risk information.
It is envisaged that genetic information will be used, together with other types of information, to assess individuals' risks of developing a variety of common conditions. Such risk assessments will involve providing probabilistic information partly based upon results of genetic tests in order to facilitate behaviour change without causing excessive anxiety. The behaviours targeted for change a...
