Communication of benefit-risk information: an online randomised controlled trial

How benefits and harms information of medical interventions is communicated affects how well patients understand it and can impact their decision-making and confidence.

What is the CICERO trial

The CICERO study is a randomised controlled trial that compares three different ways of communicating available information on medical interventions: "Summary of Findings table", "Kilim plot/table" and "Vitruvian plot".

Participants in the study will be randomised to one of these three communication tools and then answer some questions. The study is all online, completed in a single session lasting about 20 minutes.

Please note that you must be aged 18 to 65 years old to participate in this study.

The results will hopefully improve how benefit-harm information is communicated to patients, supporting their informed participation in clinical shared decision-making.

If you have any questions before, during or after participating, please contact Edoardo G. Ostinelli (edoardo.ostinelli@psych.ox.ac.uk) or Andrea Cipriani (andrea.cipriani@psych.ox.ac.uk).
