Episode: Are You Sure? Tolerance of Uncertainty and the Risk of Stress-Related Harm
Description: Health professionals must deal with a lot of uncertainty in their work, such as weighing the risks and benefits of various treatment options, determining whether a patient’s symptoms are an adverse effect of medication therapy, or deciding if adding a new drug to the formulary will be cost-effective.

A new study sheds light on several contextual factors that contribute to low tolerance of uncertainty and some potential opportunities for intervention.
