Presenting decision-relevant numerical information to Dutch women aged 50–70 with varying levels of health literacy: Case example of adjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer
Visual formats did not enhance comprehension of survival rate information beyond a well-designed text block format. However, none of the formats could overcome HL differences. When designing decision-relevant information, visualisations might not necessarily provide an advantage over structured numerical information for both patients with lower and higher HL. However, a deeper understanding of presenting side-effect information is warranted.
