Before
Healthcare providers from our partner's network will be randomized into control (hard skill hypertension training only) or treatment (hard skill + soft skill training). Providers will be randomized within strata by an index of hard and soft skills and geographic block. Providers will then host hypertension clinics, where high-BP patients will be randomized into three chatbot exposure arms: control (no chatbot), pre-provider interaction chatbot exposure, and post-interaction chatbot exposure.
We analyze heterogeneity by:
- Patient beliefs about provider and provider beliefs about patient
- Baseline provider medical and communication skills (by which we stratify)
- Patient characteristics: demographics, hypertension understanding and behavior
