The research focuses on:
-
How various measures of risk and benefit are understood and best
communicated -
How the communication is perceived among doctors and lay people
-
The impact of risk communication on doctors’ diagnosis and treatment strategy and patients’ acceptance of and persistence to an agreed treatment plan.
The applied methods vary from register-based cohort studies, internet-based surveys to clinical intervention studies.
