1 Adjusted for age, sex, decisional conflict at baseline, factorial design and general practice (all comparisons are for the intervention compared with its respective control) 2 Negative differences represent a favourable outcome for the relevant intervention 3 The interaction between the interventions was investigated as a secondary analysis and was found to be significant (interaction coefficient = 12 (95% CI 5 to 19), p = 0.001)
