Evaluation of Relationship between Radiologist Characteristics and Positive Response to Disclosure Questions

* Numbers in parentheses are percentages of raw data.

† Higher disclosure willingness included response options “I would probably disclose this error” and “I would definitely disclose this error.” Higher disclosure content included “The calcifications have increased on your last mammogram, but their appearance was not as worrisome as they are now,” and “An error occurred during the interpretation of your last mammogram, and the calcifications had actually increased, not decreased in number.”

‡ Significant difference between groups at P = .05.

§ P value for these variables assumes linear test for trend; all other P values are calculated by using the χ² test.
