The appropriateness of the 1-in-X numerical format to convey quantitative medical probabilities is currently under discussion because of its distortive effect on subjective probability assessment. Previous research, however, always asked participants to imagine a hypothetical scenario. The aim of the present research is to support the existence of the 1-in-X effect in a real setting: when pregnant women have to evaluate their personal risk of Down syndrome according to their maternal age.
