A vignette study examining the effects of different types of diagnostic procedure and information provision preferences

Keane, David; Craven, Michael P.; Sharples, Sarah

Abstract

A vignette study was conducted to examine attitudes in a student population with respect to three different types of diagnostic procedure (blood test, imaging procedure and invasive procedure) and three different disease areas (coronary, gastroenterological and musculoskeletal). The study involved 72 participants and statistical analysis shows that invasive procedures were viewed more negatively. Participants also had high information needs in the pre- and post-diagnosis stages of information provision, and preferred traditional media for receiving results.
