“…Based on the literature (e.g., Mevissen et al, 2009;De Wit et al, 2008), we expected a medium effect size on primary outcomes (η2 = .06 ;Cohen, 1988). In our design with 2 means per factor, this effect size value corresponds to a d-value of 0.50, and an f-value of 0.25.…”

“…Moderating factors. Comprehensibility was assessed by a composite of three items accounting for the extent to which mothers understood the information, and whether they considered the text to be clear and readable (Mevissen et al, 2009). Responses were given on a seven-point scale ranging from (1) not at all understandable/very unclear/very readable to (7) fully understandable/very clear/very readable (Cronbach's alpha = .87).…”

Background:In order to promote HPV-vaccination acceptability among mothers of invited girls, we developed a web-based, tailored intervention. This study reports on an experimental pretest for the component of this intervention targeting mothers' perceptions of their daughters' susceptibility towards HPV-related risk factors. Statistical versus narrative risk information was pretested as research results remain to be mixed on the surplus value of one type over the other in influencing mothers' perceptions of their daughters' susceptibility. Methods: We used data from 375 mothers of girls-to-be invited to the HPV-vaccination round 2014, who were derived from the Dutch National Immunization Register. They were randomly assigned to one of four conditions in a 2 (statistical information: yes or no) × 2 (narrative information: yes or no) between-subjects factorial design. Findings: Mothers who received statistical information felt their daughters were more susceptible towards HPV than mothers who received no statistical information. No main or interaction effects with narrative information were found. The effect of statistical information on mothers' perceptions of their daughters' susceptibility towards HPV was not moderated by perceived comprehensibility, credibility or novelty of the risk information, nor mediated by message-induced imaginability, elaboration, personal relevance, or defensive reactions. However, in secondary analyses, in which we only included the statistical and narrative condition, we found personal relevance to mediate the effect of statistical information (independent variable) on mothers' perceptions of their daughters' susceptibility towards HPV (dependent variable). Discussion: Statistical risk information appeared most effective in increasing mothers' perceptions of their daughters' susceptibility towards HPV and was therefore included in the web-based, tailored intervention promoting HPV-vaccination acceptability.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Tailored Interactive Computer-Delivered Intervention to Promote Colorectal Cancer Screening: Sometimes More is Just the Same

Background There have been few studies of tailored interventions to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Purpose We conducted a randomized trial of a tailored, interactive intervention to increase CRC screening. Methods Patients 50–70 years completed a baseline survey, were randomized to one of three groups, and attended a wellness exam after being exposed to a tailored intervention about CRC screening (tailored group), a public web site about CRC screening (web site group), or no intervention (survey-only group). The primary outcome was completion of any recommended CRC screening by 6 months. Results There was no statistically significant difference in screening by 6 months: 30%, 31%, and 28% of the survey-only, web site, and tailored groups were screened. Exposure to the tailored intervention was associated with increased knowledge and CRC screening self-efficacy at 2 weeks and 6 months. Family history, prior screening, stage of change, and physician recommendation moderated the intervention effects. Conclusions A tailored intervention was not more effective at increasing screening than a public web site or only being surveyed.

“…The results showed that providing young adults with risk scenario information indeed led to higher perceived susceptibility for Chlamydia (Mevissen et al, 2009). However, the influence of scenario information on Chlamydia-related susceptibility perceptions depended on the relationship status of the recipient: only among participants without a steady relationship at time of measurement, perceived susceptibility was rated higher after reading scenario information compared to not reading scenario information.…”
