What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study asks whether generative AI can produce patient education messages that match the quality of messages written by human health experts. Researchers generate short and long health messages on various topics using both ChatGPT 4.0 and human experts in primary care or public health. Diverse panels of patients and providers then rate the messages on clarity, understandability, relevance, and usefulness, with attention to how accessible the messages are across different socioeconomic groups. The goal is to learn whether AI can help primary care deliver trusted health information and reduce the burden on strained healthcare teams.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Health messages written by AI (ChatGPT 4.0) compared with messages written by human health experts
What this could lead to
If AI-written messages rate as well as human-written ones, primary care clinics could produce clear patient education faster and at lower cost, which may free up staff time and help reach more patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 56 reviewers, and people rating messages may score them differently than real patients reading them at home. AI messages can also contain errors or miss cultural context, so high ratings would not guarantee safe use in every setting.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part
