Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is commonly treated in specialized care settings with long-acting opioid agonists, also known as opioid agonist therapy, or OAT. Despite the rise in opioid use globally and evidence for a 50% reduction in mortality when OAT is employed, the proportion of people with OUD receiving OAT remains small. One initiative to improve the access and uptake of OAT could be to offer OAT in a primary care setting; primary care clinics are more numerous, might reduce the visibility and potential stigma of receiving treatment for OUD, and may facilitate the care of other medical conditions that are unrelated to OUD.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the potential of an artificial intelligence-driven chatbot, specifically leveraging ChatGPT (GPT-4; OpenAI) combined with retrieval-augmented generation, to deliver personalized answers to complex breast cancer-related patient questions in German.

Background: African American individuals experience disparities in the burden of lung cancer compared to other racial or ethnic groups. Yet, African Americans are less likely than White patients to have provider-initiated discussions about lung cancer screening (LCS). In addition to provider-level barriers, predictors of racial disparities include patient-level knowledge barriers and medical mistrust.
