Site helps patients assess risk
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, February 2, 2007
A new Web site, Cancer Risk: Understanding the Puzzle, aims to help patients learn whether they're at risk for cancer.
Sponsored by the United States National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute, the site helps visitors tell the difference between absolute risk and relative risk, biological risk, and genetic risk.
Another section can help a reader decide whether a published news report is credible. When reading a report in the newspaper or viewing it online or on television, readers should ask questions such as, "Who is reporting the results?" and "Has the study been published in a peer-reviewed journal?", according to the site.
