TL;DR: The results indicate that variable ordering in the Health Belief Model may be complex, may help to explain conflicting results of the past, and may be a good focus for future research.

TL;DR: In a meta-analytic review of 53 studies, this article found that in messages aimed at encouraging disease detection behaviors, loss-framed appeals (which emphasize the disadvantages of noncompliance with the communicator's recommendation) are only slightly, but statistically significantly, more persuasive than gain-frameed appeals, which emphasize the advantages of compliance.

TL;DR: A meta-analytic review of the relative persuasiveness of gain-and loss-framed messages (based on 165 effect sizes, N=50,780) was conducted by as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This paper found that both scientists and journalists were viewed as more trustworthy when news coverage of cancer research was hedged (e.g., study limitations were reported) and when the hedging was attributed to the scientists responsible for the research (as opposed to scientists unaffiliated with the research).
