Using Multimedia Approaches to Communicate Probabilities in Patient Decision Aids for Low-Literacy Populations: Randomized Trial
The goal of this research study is to compare how people who are 45-75 years old respond to 3 different versions of a program about screening tests for colorectal cancer. Researchers want to use this study as part of a long-term project to learn the best ways to communicate health information to patients.
