Dear members of the Psychiatry Society of Virginia,
We are inviting licensed mental health providers to participate in a research study examining clinician observations of patient use of general-purpose AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude.
About the Study
This study is designed to investigate the frequency and nature of patient-AI chatbot interactions as observed by mental health providers. Findings will be used to inform clinical guidance, provider education, and safety recommendations for AI chatbot use in vulnerable populations.
What Participation Involves
Participation consists of a single anonymous online survey taking approximately 5 minutes. The survey asks about your professional background and your observations of how patients in your care have used AI chatbots.
