Choosing Wisely Campaign: valuable for providers who knew about it, but awareness remained constant, 2014-17.
The Choosing Wisely campaign has codified recommendations of which health care services' use should be questioned and discussed with patients. The ABIM Foundation administered surveys in 2014 and 2017 to examine physicians' attitudes toward and awareness of the use of low-value care. There were no significant changes between 2014 and 2017 in awareness of the campaign among physicians or physician-reported difficulty in talking to patients about avoiding a low-value service.

A practical framework for understanding and reducing medical overuse: conceptualizing overuse through the patient-clinician interaction.
The authors used an iterative, expert-informed, evidence-based process to develop a framework for conceptualizing interventions to reduce medical overuse. Given the complexity of defining and identifying overused care in nuanced clinical situations and the need to define care appropriateness in the context of an individual patient, this framework conceptualizes the patient-clinician interaction as the nexus of decisions regarding inappropriate care.

Treating, fast and slow: Americans' understanding of and responses to low-value care.
This article explores Americans’ understanding of low-value care in 2015, assesses the impact of media messaging, and tests alternative message framing. The study concluded that the public’s awareness of low-value care is incomplete, with substantial disparities related to race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
