Tracking AI/LLM Literacy and Knowledge in Urology Outpatients (TALK-U)

Condition(s) studied

Study summary

This study is a one-time, questionnaire-based survey of adults attending a urology outpatient clinic. The investigators will examine whether patients who use AI chat tools based on large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, before seeking care differ from non-users in (1) anxiety, (2) satisfaction with the clinic visit, and (3) awareness/understanding of their health condition.

Participants who provide written informed consent will complete a brief survey during their clinic visit (about 5-7 minutes). The survey includes a standardized anxiety scale (GAD-7), visual analog scales (0-10) for anxiety before and after the visit, satisfaction, and disease awareness, as well as questions about AI/LLM knowledge and use. Treating clinicians will not have access to participants' survey responses, and participation will not affect clinical care.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Pre-visit Anxiety (VAS 0-10) — Day 0 (immediately before the outpatient visit)
  Self-rated anxiety on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS), where 0 indicates no anxiety and 10 indicates the highest possible anxiety. This measure reflects visit-related state anxiety prior to clinician encounter.
