Physician and patient perception: the origin of a study

A new study is rooted in how patients think they will be perceived by doctors if they share information that is incorrect. Jessecae K. Marsh, PhD, is co-author of a study, “Perceived Penalties for Sharing Patient Believes with Health Care Providers.” It examines how physicians and patients think they will be perceived when they disclose their beliefs in a health care setting. Additional authors are Onur Asan, PhD, and Samantha Kleinberg, PhD, both of the Stevens Institute of Technology.
