Emergency rooms as prevention hubs: personalized advice may improve health behaviors
NCT ID NCT07714460
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether giving patients personalized prevention tips in the emergency department helps them follow through on recommended health measures, like cancer screenings and vaccines. About 658 adults visiting two ERs in France receive either tailored advice based on their age, sex, and habits, or general information. Researchers check 6-8 weeks later whether patients have taken at least a quarter of the steps recommended for them.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- personalized preventive health information
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could turn emergency department visits into opportunities to improve public health by increasing participation in screenings and vaccinations.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early exploratory trial, and the effect may be small or limited to certain groups. Adherence is measured only 6-8 weeks later, so long-term impact is unknown.
