AI chatbot takes on vaccine myths in UK trial
NCT ID NCT07488962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a conversational AI chatbot can help parents and caregivers in the UK better identify false information about childhood vaccines. Around 1000 participants will be randomly assigned to either interact with the chatbot or view a standard social media infographic. The goal is to see which approach improves parents' ability to tell true from false vaccine claims.
