Understanding screening results

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that the National Library for Health (www.library.nhs.uk) has covered an interesting study reported in the BMJ evaluating how screening tests can be misinterpreted by staff and patients. It's a study evaluating how obstetricians, midwives and women understand the results of a screening test for Down's syndrome in an antenatal setting.

You can see the full study at: http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/abstract/333/7562/284

Best wishes,
