Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of patients who create a research profile
Time Frame: 12 months
The outcome will be assessed by querying the patient's electronic medical record to determine whether the patient has registered in the Yale University Volunteer Database. This database is comprised of patients who agree to be contacted if there is a study at Yale that meets their interests.
