Characteristics of excluded studies [ordered by study ID]

Study

Reason for exclusion

Alexander 1996

A one group pre‐test and post‐test design. No control group.

Champion 2000b

Not personalised risk elements despite some attention to susceptibility; personalisation is for transtheoretical stage.

Dignan 1996

Individualised counselling based on each woman's barriers to obtaining cervical screening, but not estimating her personal level of risk or risk factors.

Engelstad 2005

Intervention for follow‐up of abnormal Pap smears, not screening.

Gagnon 1996

Intervention involved counselling in which an estimate of a woman's risk of developing breast cancer was given, but no control group present; and main behavioural outcome was not mammography but breast self‐examination.

Giles 2001

Personalised risks given, but no control group for this pre‐post study.

Kadison 1998

No control group.

Kreuter 2005

Tailoring for beliefs and cultural adaptation but not of risk information itself.

Leigh 1991

A longitudinal study, with risk calculated after cardiovascular screening.

Lipkus 2000

Tailored print and counselling, but no clear evidence that personalised risk information was given.

Miller 2005

Patient initiated call for information, consideration of testing; not screening.

Pye 1988

Identified from the Jepson review as being a 'risk factor assessment study'; but questionnaire assessed symptoms and not risk factors as such.

Rakowski 1998

Stage (of change) matched intervention but not explicitly dealing with individually calculated risk estimates.

Rhodes 2001

Personal health recommendations but not risk communication in screening. Process measures and no outcomes.

Rimer 1999

A tailored intervention, but not with regards to personal risks.

Weber 1997

Structured outreach, with identification and removal of barriers to care, but not estimating her personal level of risk or risk factors.
