Zusammenfassung:Together, the papers in this special session examine four critical factors (categorization, fit with a health message, ownership, and hospital record framing) that play a role in hindering or fostering important health-related decisions such as health and risk assessment, prevention of diseases, and choice of health provider. Building on this theme of considering the role of small changes to health information in shaping health decision making, the second paper by Samper, Luce, and Purohit presents a strategy to assist consumers in overcoming feelings of low control over ones health outcomes, a typical barrier in disease prevention. [...]the fourth paper by Jung and Kahn explores the factors that affect consumer choice of health providers. [...]labels affected risk estimates for the self but not for others.
