Significantly from the named comparison condition within each column. Benefit and risk recall are reported as the percent correct, from 0 (none correct) to 100 (all correct). Comparative efficacy was assessed on a scale of 1 = much worse [than other drugs] to 7 = much better [than other drugs]. Efficacy magnitude was assessed on a scale of 1 = [would help] very little to 7 = [would help] a lot. Efficacy likelihood was assessed on a scale of 0 (Kesterin will work for none of the people taking it) to 100 (Kesterin will work for all of the people taking it).Comparative risk was assessed on a scale of 1 = much safer [than other drugs] to 7 = much riskier [than other drugs]. Risk magnitude was assessed on a scale of 1 =[side effects are] not at all serious to 7 = [side effects are] very serious. Risk likelihood was assessed on a scale of 0 (no people taking Kesterin will have side effects) to 100 (all people taking Kesterin will have side effects).
