Abstract
The ways in which information is provided to patients requires careful consideration so that a patient has sufficient understanding to make a decision about undergoing a screening test and understands the implications of test results. There is a potential conflict between the ideal of fully informed choice and patient expectations that they can depend on professionals to make the appropriate decision on their behalf.
