General Performance on a Numeracy Scale among Highly Educated Samples
TLDR
The results suggest that even highly educated participants have difficulty with relatively simple numeracy questions, thus replicating in part earlier studies that usual strategies for communicating numerical risk may be flawed.

Relationships among breast cancer perceived absolute risk, comparative risk, and worries.
TLDR
The extent to which women's worries about breast cancer correlate with perceptions of both absolute and comparative 10-year and lifetime risks is examined, suggesting practitioners should give careful consideration how best to combine information aboutabsolute and comparative risks.

Understanding the Role of Numeracy in Health: Proposed Theoretical Framework and Practical Insights
TLDR
The authors examine practical underpinnings for targeted interventions aimed at improving such processes as a function of health numeracy and proposes six critical functions that are integrated into a theoretical framework that has implications for risk communication and medical decision-making processes.
