About the project
The project COME INFO (Communicating medical information to patients: An evidence-based toolbox of strategies) consists of three sub-studies, a literature review, a detailed study of approximately 30 videos with a large exchange of information from 2007-08, and a study where we have collected new data.
An important point in this new study is that both patients and doctors have been interviewed to acquire a more complete picture of the background and consequences of the information behavior we observe.
Objectives
The aim of the study is to identify efficient information giving that improves patients’ ability to remember it.
