Marteau e Sasieni BMJ 2001;322:", "Image ImageDescription": "Women who receive normal smear test results need to understand that they have a low risk of developing cervical cancer, not no risk at all. Marteau et al found that only 52% of a sample of women from the general public correctly understood that normal smear result meant there was still a risk of cervical cancer. Adding a simple statement that normal smear result means they are at low risk resulted in 70% correctly understanding the result. Quantifying low risk, using absolute and relative risks, did not improve understanding further. Adding this one statement could prevent as many as half a million women a year misunderstanding their negative smear result.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
