Hi All,

 

A lazy Sunday afternoon here in sunny Bristol and a thought has occurred - what is the best way to convey the 'effectiveness' of an intervention.  There are multiple techniques, for instance:

 

• Numerical e.g. effect size, odds ratio
• Verbal summarisation e.g. Clinical Evidence uses measures such as 'Likely to be beneficial'
• Directive e.g. as frequently seen in clinical guidelines, giving a recommendation.

Is there any research to say which is the most 'supportive' in clinical care?
