Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
A randomized trial of three videos that differ in the framing of information about mammography in women 40 to 49 years old.
To assess the effect of providing structured information about the benefits and harms of mammography in differing frames on women's perceptions of screening. ⋯ Women improved the accuracy of their responses to questions about the benefits and harms of mammography after seeing the videos, but this change was not affected by the framing of information. Women strongly perceived that the benefits of mammography outweighed the harms, and providing accurate information had no effect on these perceptions, regardless of how it was framed.
