TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a review of patient decision aids for shared decision making in a way they can easily understand and compare with the patient's decision process, and present evidence to convey to the patient.
Abstract
BackgroundShared decision making requires evidence to be conveyed to the patient in a way they can easily understand and compare. Patient decision aids facilitate this process. This article reviews...

Redevelopment of the Predict: Breast Cancer website and recommendations for developing interfaces to support decision-making

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new interface for the widely used prognostic breast cancer tool: Predict: Breast Cancer, to facilitate decision-making around post-surgery breast cancer treatments and derive recommendations for communicating the outputs of prognostic models to patients and their clinicians.

Interventions Using Heart Age for Cardiovascular Disease Risk Communication: Systematic Review of Psychological, Behavioral, and Clinical Effects.

TL;DR: The findings of this review provide little evidence that heart age motivates lifestyle behavior change more than absolute risk, but either format can improve clinical outcomes when combined with other behavior change strategies.

Risk, Ambiguity, and the Savage Axioms

TL;DR: The notion of "degrees of belief" was introduced by Knight as mentioned in this paper, who argued that people tend to behave "as though" they assigned numerical probabilities to events, or degrees of belief to the events impinging on their actions.

General performance on a numeracy scale among highly educated samples.

TL;DR: The results suggest that even highly educated participants have difficulty with relatively simple numeracy questions, thus replicating in part earlier studies that usual strategies for communicating numerical risk may be flawed.

The Meaning and the Measure of Health Literacy

TL;DR: Computer-assisted testing, which selects items from a bank of possible items according to a baseline-predicted reading ability and responses to previous questions, should allow more accurate measurement of indiidual capacity without increasing the time required to complete testing.

Numeracy and Decision Making

TL;DR: Findings were consistent with highly numerate individuals being more likely to retrieve and use appropriate numerical principles, thus making themselves less susceptible to framing effects, and their affective responses were more precise.
