- Conditions
- Patient Participation
- Registration Number
- NCT05348603
- Lead Sponsor
- Yale University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of enhanced features in an online patient portal including banners, a chatbot, and direct to patient message and traditional mailed letters on increasing interest in research among online patient portal users.
- Detailed Description
The primary objective is to examine the effectiveness of enhanced online patient portal features including banners, a chatbot, and direct to patient message and traditional mailed letters on increasing interest in research among online patient portal users, as measured by the user's creation of a research profile.
The secondary objective is to examine the effectiveness of two enhanced online patient portal features including banners, a chatbot and direct-to-patient messages and traditional mailed letters on increasing participation in research among online patient portal users, as measured by the user joining a research study.
This study tests the hypothesis that at one year follow-up, various user engagement tools (e.g. messaging, banners) will increase the proportion of research profiles created by online patient portal users over profiles created by online patient portal users in the absence of those interventions.
