Ratio format shapes health decisions: The practical significance of the “1-in-X” effect.

2018-10-24

Abstract excerpt

<p>Prior research found that “1-in-X” ratios led to higher and less accurate subjective probability than “N-in-X*N” ratios or other formats even though they featured the same mathematical information. It is unclear, however, whether the effect transfers into health decisions and the practical significance of the effect is undetermined. Based on previous findings and risk communication theories, we hypothesised tha...
