Perceived relevance of consequences of diagnostic labelling: a qualitative exploratory study with general practitioners and consumers

​

Diagnostic Labelling

We are interested in GPs current practice and how best to communicate to patients about the potential harms and benefits of routine screening for non-cancer health conditions. It requires GPs to participate in an online interview (conducted via Zoom). Interviews will require 30-45 minutes and include open-ended questions and a 15-mintue pre-recorded presentation on evidence from systematic reviews regarding consequences of diagnostic labelling.

​

GPs will be offered opportunity to discuss their clinical practice and perceptions regarding the consequences of routine screening and diagnostic labelling of asymptomatic, non-cancer health conditions, and the relevance and clinical applicability of review findings to routine screening and possible diagnostic labelling to individuals with mild or low risk thresholds for health conditions.

​

GPs will receive a $100 gift voucher for their contribution to this research.
