Summary
Online COPD screening assessments encourage high-risk adults to seek medical advice. Higher perceived quality of these assessments increases the likelihood of consulting a healthcare provider for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Area of Science:
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Digital Health
- Health Behavior
Background:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a significant cause of illness and death, with frequent underdiagnosis.
- Online screening tools offer a cost-effective method to identify adults at high risk for COPD.
- Limited data exists on whether individuals identified as high-risk by online assessments seek further medical advice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate how the perceived quality of online COPD screening assessments influences individuals' decisions to seek advice.
- To determine if high-risk adults consult healthcare providers or use online resources after completing screening.
Main Methods:
- 199 adults without a prior COPD diagnosis completed an online survey.
- The survey incorporated a computer-tailored assessment using the validated COPD Population Screener (COPD-PS).
Main Results:
- A higher COPD risk score correlated with an increased likelihood of seeking advice from healthcare providers or online resources.
- Positive perceptions of the online assessment's quality significantly strengthened the intention to consult a healthcare provider among high-risk individuals.
Conclusions:
- Computer-tailored online screening assessments can effectively encourage high-risk adults to seek more information about COPD.
- Enhancing the perceived quality of online COPD screening tools can improve patient engagement with healthcare providers.
- Telehealth solutions, including chatbots, show promise for disseminating COPD screening and addressing underdiagnosis.

3.0K
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
