“…For the intervention groups, we anticipate a relative increase of at least 50% ( 47 ), with an expected difference of 25% between the gain- and loss-framed groups ( 39 ). This corresponds to an estimated effect size (W) for Chi-square of 0.20 ( 48 ), aligning closely with recommendations from prior studies ( 38 ). To achieve a power of 80%, an alpha error rate of 0.05, a standard deviation of 5%, and an estimated effect size (W) of 0.20, a total of 198 participants will be required for our primary outcome, which measures a healthier lifestyle encompassing physical activity, diet, and prevention medication at 3 months.…”

BackgroundAlthough several guidelines for cardiovascular disease (CVD) management have highlighted the significance of primary prevention, the execution and adherence to lifestyle modifications and preventive medication interventions are insufficient in everyday clinical practice. The utilization of effective risk communication can assist individuals in shaping their perception of CVD risk, motivating them to make lifestyle changes, and increasing their willingness to engage with preventive medication, ultimately reducing their CVD risks and potential future events. However, there is limited evidence available regarding the optimal format and content of CVD risk communication.ObjectiveThe pilot study aims to elucidate the most effective risk communication strategy, utilizing message framing (gain-framed, loss-framed, or no-framed), for distinct subgroups of risk perception (under-perceived, over-perceived, and correctly-perceived CVD risk) through a multi-center randomized controlled trial design.MethodsA multi-center 3 × 3 factorial, observer-blinded experimental design was conducted. The participants will be assigned into three message-framing arms randomly in a 1:1:1 ratio and will receive an 8-week intervention online. Participants are aged 20–80 years old and have a 10-year risk of absolute CVD risk of at least 5% (moderate risk or above). We plan to enroll 240 participants based on the sample calculation. The primary outcome is the CVD prevention behaviors and CVD absolute risk value. Data collection will occur at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up.DiscussionThis experimental study will expect to determine the optimal matching strategy between risk perception subgroups and risk information format, and it has the potential to offer health providers in community or clinic settings a dependable and efficient health communication information template for conducting CVD risk management.Clinical trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/bin/project/edit?pid=207811, ChiCTR2300076337.

“…Information framework originated from prospect theory, and its essence is to design the expression of information to change people's decision preference (Tversky and Kahneman, 1981). Reviewing the past literature, information framework is widely used in health behavior research such as chronic diseases (Gao et al, 2022), HPV vaccination (Xu et al, 2021), smoking (Kim and Lee, 2017). Most health-related information can be explained by benefits or costs.…”

In the post-pandemic era, our health is facing unprecedented challenges, and people are more willing to obtain health-related information or interact with each other than ever before. In this context, people’s interest in mindfulness information is also growing. However, not enough attention has been paid to the relationship between mindfulness information design and information interaction. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of information design based on the gain and loss framework on people’s willingness to interact with mindfulness information, and to identify the framework for achieving better results. Through two experimental studies, we find that information design based on the framework of gains and losses can produce different effects. Specifically, the findings of the first experiment (N = 282) shows the individuals are more willing to interact mindfulness information when they are exposed to gain-framed information rather than loss-framed. In the second experiment (N = 308), we find that loss framing, compared with gain framing, led to greater health risk perception, which in turn make participants more likely to interact with mindfulness information with others. Additionally, our results show that the lay theories of health plays a moderating role in the direct effect of information framework on willingness to interact with mindfulness information in social media. When individuals hold incremental lay theories, they are more willing to interact with mindfulness information under the gain-framed information condition compared with the loss-framed information condition. However, when individuals are in entity condition, there is no significant difference in the willingness to interact with mindfulness information between the gain-framed and loss-framed information. Our studies of integrating information framework into designing mindfulness information suggest a promising strategy of health information interaction in social media.

“…However, it is worth noting that many studies are examined the impact of information framework on health-related behaviors ( Rothman and Salovey, 1997 ; Kim and Lee, 2017 ; Gao et al, 2022 ), rather than the willingness to interact with mindfulness information. On the other hand, some key methodological challenges and issues need to be solved in this area.…”
