About this trial

Gynecologists frequently overestimate the benefits and safety of ovarian cancer screening. AI-supported discussions may help correct these misperceptions. This study tests whether an AI-guided conversation about the evidence on ovarian cancer screening can improve gynecologists' knowledge and reduce non-evidence-based screening recommendations, compared with a control AI discussion on ovarian cancer prevalence.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

gynecologists in outpatient care who provide ovarian cancer screening to asymptomatic, average-risk women (not guideline consistent)

Disqualifiers

gynecologists in inpatient care

gynecologist in outpatient care who do NOT provide ovarian cancer screening to asymptomatic, average-risk women (guideline consistent)

Treatments tested in this trial

  • ChatGPT - Control

    Behavioral

    Three-turn conversation; discusses ovarian cancer risk and epidemiology; avoids screening topics; concise responses (5-8 sentences). Mode of Delivery: Online chat interface; participant interacts directly with ChatGPT.

  • ChatGPT - Evidence-Based Screening Discussion

    Behavioral

    Three-turn conversation; asks participants about screening rationale; provides evidence-based info on benefits/harms, trial data, guideline positions; concise responses (5-8 sentences). Mode of Delivery: Online chat interface; participant interacts directly with ChatGPT.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in intention to recommend ovarian cancer screening

Difference in participants' self-reported frequency of recommending ovarian cancer screening to average-risk women in the future after the ChatGPT interaction and their self-reported frequency of recommending the screening in the past.

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in benefit-harm ratio evaluation of ovarian cancer screenings

Difference between the self-reported benefit-harm ratio evaluation before and after the ChatGPT interaction.
