The findings, the authors conclude, show that patients' willingness to take preventive cardiovascular medication depends more on the mode of communication of treatment benefit than on their short-term cardiovascular disease risk score or their level of concern about a future cardiovascular event. Moreover, it is not possible to predict which mode of communication is preferred by individual patients. As such, they recommend clinicians routinely use several modes and formats to communicate risk, flexibly matching information to the needs of individuals.
