To make an informed decision on participation in mammography screening, women have to be educated about all the risks and benefits of the procedure in a manner that is detailed and understandable. But an analysis of 27 German health pamphlets on mammography screening shows that many relevant pieces of information about the benefits, the risks, and especially the meaning of screening results are only insufficiently communicated. Many statements were presented narratively rather than as precise statistics. Depending on content, 17 to 62% of the quantifiable statements were actually given as numerical data. To provide comprehensive information and to avoid misunderstandings, it is necessary to supplement the currently available health pamphlets and make the information on mammography screening more precise.
为了就是否参与乳腺钼靶筛查做出明智的决定,必须以详细且易懂的方式让女性了解该检查的所有风险和益处。但一项对27份关于乳腺钼靶筛查的德国健康宣传册的分析表明,许多关于益处、风险,尤其是筛查结果含义的相关信息传达得并不充分。许多陈述是以叙述方式呈现的,而非精确的统计数据。根据内容,17%至62%的可量化陈述实际上是以数值数据给出的。为了提供全面信息并避免误解,有必要补充当前可用的健康宣传册,并使关于乳腺钼靶筛查的信息更加精确。
