Summary
This study looks at whether adding a machine-learning risk label to electronic health record messages helps adults aged 65 and older better understand their risk of developing diabetes. About 1,200 participants with prediabetes will receive either standard lab results or results with a "very low risk" label. Researchers will then compare how each group responds, including their understanding, emotions, and healthcare use.
