Summary
To evaluate the impact of AI-powered chatbot interactions versus traditional educational handouts on increasing participants' knowledge of oral cancer and its prevention
Detailed description
The study evaluates the difference in outcome of two distinct interventions aimed at enhancing oral cancer awareness and prevention among participants from African American communities in the Richmond area. Participants assigned to the first intervention arm will receive traditional educational handouts sourced from trustworthy and reliable health sources such as the CDC, American Cancer Association (ACA), and other health education resources. These handouts will be provided to the participants and provided enough time to read them based on calculated reading time, focusing on increasing awareness of oral cancer risks, preventive strategies, and the importance of regular dental check-ups. Participants assigned to the second intervention arm will engage with an AI-powered chatbot designed specifically for oral cancer education. The chatbot interaction will be initiated through a provided link, allowing participants to access information and ask questions related to oral health and cancer prevention. The chatbot is programmed to provide accurate information on oral cancer risks, symptoms, preventive measures, and the importance of regular dental check-ups
