2. Figure 1
The flow of respondents through recruiting, screening, and completion of the survey. As seen toward the bottom of the figure, 10 respondents from the mastectomy survey and 3 participants from the lumpectomy survey were later purged from the database. They had checked all or nearly all answer options to the screening questions about medical conditions, types of cancer, and breast cancer treatments. Presumably these were “professional” survey respondents who knew that if they did not check the right answer on those screening questions, then they would be terminated and not receive the monetary incentive. Indeed, 5 of those 13 were all from New York so might have been the same person using multiple s, and another 5 of 13 were from New Jersey so might have also been just one person.

Results from questions about sense of urgency. (A) Pie charts with the results of the patient's main priority. (The 95% CI for the response of “making a quick decision” was 29% to 41% for lumpectomy-only patients, 24% to 39% for mastectomy-only patients, and 15% to 29% for patients who had both lumpectomy and mastectomy.) (B) Stacked bar chart with the results of the patients' sense of wishing they had more time. (The 95% CI for the response of “agree strongly” was 12% to 23% for lumpectomy-only patients, 20% to 34% for mastectomy-only patients, and 16% to 30% for patients who had both lumpectomy and mastectomy.)
