The Winton Centre and our sister centre in Berlin, the Harding Center for Risk Literacy, have worked together to put to the test a format for communicating the pros and cons of medical treatments, called a 'Fact Box'. We wanted to confirm in the most rigorous test we could imagine, that this format really was better than text - and found that it was, for people of all levels of numeracy or education.

The results are published today, Open Access, in a Registered Report: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.190876
