Coronary calcium artery scoring for support of shared decision making in adults who do not have a history of cardiovascular disease (CACS Study) dataset
The University of SydneyDataset description
This dataset includes 1629 participants aged 45-79; living in Australia, who never had a heart attack or stroke nor been diagnosed with a CVD. This randomised experiment aimed to test different content options amongst consumers with varying health literacy. A 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design tested how to present risk assessment and management options (basic vs detailed) and uncertainty (implicit vs explicit) to enhance understanding to different final risk outcome groups (low vs high). The data includes participants' demographics and health literacy as well as their responses to various information (either basic description of CVD risk factors/management options or detailed description of the triage method and intervention effects). The file type is .XLSIdentifiers

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to improve knowledge of consumers about new and emerging CVD risk assessment methods, addressing different levels of health literacy; and to improve the uptake of evidence-based risk assessment methods by health professionals by providing them with communication tools that allow them to quickly and automatically apply the evidence to their patients. This project will use a novel approach to: 1) identify the best way to communicate the known benefits/harms and uncertainti .... Read more

Design: The study will be a randomised experiment. We will conduct a national survey recruited through Dynata to experimentally test different content options amongst consumers with varying health literacy. A 2 x 2 factorial design will test how to present risk assessment and management options (basic vs detailed) and uncertainty (implicit vs explicit) to enhance understanding. Methods: A national sample will be recruited for an online survey through Qualtrics, with stratified education, gender .... Read more
Comparison
Control group Active
The design is 2x2, There are two different risk outcomes within each group, therefore participants will be randomised to one of eight groups, all of which will be compared against one another. 'Comparator' Information: Basic; Uncertainty: Implicit; Final risk: Low
