Interpretation of Health News Items Reporting Results of Phase I/II (Non-randomized) Trials With or Without Spin by English-speaking Population

The main objective of this study is to compare the interpretation of health news items reporting results of phase I/II (non-randomized) trials with or without spin (i.e., distortion of research results). The news items which reported studies evaluating the treatment effect, having highest number of spin in the headline and text and received high online public attention will be selected. Spin will be deleted and will rewrite the news items without spin. This sample of news items reporting results of phase I/II (non-randomized) trials with and without spin will be interpreted by English-speaking population.
