- Risk and Uncertainty Communication (2017, background): “…formats’ crucial dependence on the audience and the intention: “graphical features that improve accuracy of quantitative reasoning appear to be different from features that induce behavior change, and features that viewers like may not support either of the two goals” (Ancker et al. 2006, p. 609).”
- Ltd Registered in England and Wales Registered Number : 1072954 Registered office : (2004, background): “As argued by a number of researchers (Ancker et al., 2006; Cutie et al., 2008; Feldman-Stewart et al., 2007; Lipkus, 2006), the way in which health care professional present probability information profoundly can affect the understanding of health risk information, as well as behavioral intentions (”
- Individual Differences in Graph Literacy: Overcoming Denominator Neglect in Risk Comprehension (2012, methodology): “Icon arrays (i.e., graphical representations consisting of a number of circles or other icons symbolizing individuals who are affected by some risk; Ancker et al., 2006; Edwards, Elwyn, & Mulley, 2002; Paling, 2003) are an effective method for eliminating denominator neglect and increasing the accur”
- The Science of Visual Data Communication: What Works (2021, background): “Physicians rely on them to show data about the risks of medical procedures, and meteorologists use them to show the uncertainty in a hurricane’s potential path (Ancker et al., 2006; Ruginski et al., 2016).”
- Numeric, Verbal, and Visual Formats of Conveying Health Risks: Suggested Best Practices and Future Recommendations (2007, background): “consistent with findings showing that graphs do not necessarily lead to more precise estimates of risk.(100) The efficacy of communicating small risks rests on the aims of the communications.”
