The three questionnaires are available in the online supplementary appendix. Briefly, we asked participants to rate their 5-year risks of having any fracture and having a hip fracture on a visual analogue scale of 0% (no chance) to 100% (definitely) and a scale of none to very high, and the 5-year total fracture and hip fracture risks of the average man or woman of the same age on a visual analogue scale of 0–100%. We asked participants whether they thought they should take osteoporosis medication, questions exploring their reasons for taking medication or not, and to rate the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatments on a visual analogue scale of 0–100%.
