The research team at the Brain and Mind Centre at The University of Sydney and the University of Technology is seeking your input to investigate how attitudes toward AI are shaping the future of allied health.
What does my participation involve?
Participation involves a 20–30-minute survey, responding to a series of questions which include your demographic information, your work setting, and the perceived benefits and risks of integrating gen-AI into allied-health care settings. We are also interested in how cognitive factors influence attitudes towards the use of AI technologies. The survey includes a subset of questions exploring general scientific knowledge and your confidence in your own answers. You can change your mind at any time and stop completing the survey/s without consequences.
No audio, video, or photographic recordings will be made during this study. All your responses will be recorded in a de-identified manner (e.g. a participant number) and stored in a secure location. Your data will only be made publicly available for the purposes of publication in an anonymous format.
Are there are any risks/inconvenience?
Participation in this study is not expected to cause you any significant discomfort. However, you may find that some questions prompt brief reflection on how AI may affect your professional role or the healthcare system more broadly. These feelings, if they arise, are expected to be mild and short-lived and no different to what you might experience in a professional development discussion.
You are free to skip any question or stop the survey at any time. As with any online survey, you may experience minor eye strain from screen time. If you choose to provide open-text responses, please avoid including any information that could identify you personally, such as your name, workplace, or specific patient details. Please be aware that you have the right to refuse to answer any questions, and you are free to discontinue participation at any point in the research without giving any reason and without any consequences. Your decision not to participate or to withdraw from the study will have no impact on your employment or professional relationships.
This survey is anonymous, however should you accidentally disclose identifying information, we will de-identify this information.
