Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Condition 4: Stratified Transplant SRTRExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants randomized to Condition 4 will view only stratified transplant survival outcome information when making a choice between the two hospitals. The "survival following transplant" metric is displayed as a pair of quintile scores corresponding to two distinct groups of transplant patients at the center: those who received optimal donor organs and those who received adequate donor organs.
Group II: Condition 3: Combined Transplant SRTRExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to Condition 3 will view only combined transplant survival outcome information (e.g. transplant survival rate not stratified by number and quality of donor hearts accepted at each center) when making a choice between the two hospitals. The "survival following transplant" metric is displayed as a quintile score corresponding to all patients at the center who received transplants.
Group III: Condition 2: Stratified Transplant PictographExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to Condition 2 will view only stratified transplant survival outcome information when making a choice between the two hospitals. The "survival following transplant" metric is displayed as a pair of survival rate pictographs corresponding to two distinct groups of transplant patients at the center: those who received optimal donor organs and those who received adequate donor organs.
Group IV: Condition 1: Combined Transplant PictographActive Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to baseline (control) arm Condition 1 will view only combined transplant survival outcome information (e.g. transplant survival rate not stratified by number and quality of donor hearts accepted at each center) when making a choice between the two hospitals. The "survival following transplant" metric is displayed as a survival rate pictograph corresponding to all patients at the center who received transplants.
