Drawing up a chart that covers likely scenarios is another option. My own effort is here: http://www.euphix.org/object_document/o5549n27167.html
It gives risk of fatal cardiovascular disease for 400 different risk factor combinations, both as a number and a colour. It has been quite popular. It took a while to get the design right, but apparently even some social workers can use it*.
