Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Inconsistent reports of the prevalence of risk perception accuracy may be related to the use of different classification strategies. The purpose of this study was to compare two approaches for assessing the accuracy of women's breast cancer risk perceptions. A telephone survey was conducted with an age-stratified random sample of British Columbian women 20-79 years of age without a breast cancer diagnosis (n = 761). A comparison of two methods employed to determine perception accuracy revealed substantial differences between the methods with regard to the classification of women as under- and over-estimators. The study highlights the need for researchers to consider the method used to determine the accuracy of risk perceptions and the implications of using different strategies to assess risk perception accuracy when such information is used in research or to guide interventions.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
