| Consumer Evaluations of Generative Artificial Intelligence Disclosures in Responses to Health Care Reviews. By Mousavi, Javad;Villanova, Daniel Journal of Public Policy & Marketing. Jan2026, Vol. 45 Issue 1, p1-17. 17p. Abstract :This article explores the emerging use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in customer service, focusing on responding to online reviews in the health care industry. The authors use real-world consumer reviews and experiments to investigate differences between GenAI- and human-generated responses to reviews, and to assess how they affect consumer perceptions. Importantly, consumers are generally unable to distinguish responses generated by GenAI from human responses. However, transparency about GenAI use significantly alters consumer perceptions, often negatively, but this negative effect varies depending on the source of disclosure and consumers` subjective knowledge about GenAI. The authors discuss the implications for consumer privacy, welfare, and public policy, emphasizing the need for transparent GenAI use in customer service, especially within sensitive sectors like health care. | |||
| The Changing Landscape of Prostate Cancer Care. By Amardeil, Tania Maclean`s. Jan/Feb2026, Vol. 139 Issue 1, p80-81. 2p. 4 Color Photographs. Abstract :The article discusses advancements in the treatment and management of prostate cancer, which is the most common cancer among men in Canada. It highlights the evolution of treatment options, including hormone therapy, chemotherapy, radiation, and the integration of nuclear medicine using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) for both diagnosis and targeted therapy. The importance of biomarkers, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSMA, in detecting and managing the disease is emphasized, along with the growing need for personalized care and shared decision-making between patients and healthcare teams. The article notes that ongoing research continues to expand treatment possibilities, offering hope for improved outcomes in prostate cancer care. | |||
| The impact of health insurance integration on patient choice of providers in China. By Xu, Wenhui;Huang, Cheng Applied Economics. Dec2025, Vol. 57 Issue 57, p9770-9787. 18p. Abstract :This paper utilizes a nationwide integration reform of two public health insurance programmes in China to examine the impact of health insurance integration on patient choice of medical providers. Using a dataset that combines longitudinal survey data and government regulations data, we find that the integration leads to an increasing probability of outpatients in nearby primary care facilities and decreased outpatient visits to public healthcare providers. Moreover, the effects of integration vary with patient demographics, the type of healthcare, and the model of insurance management. No significant evidence suggests that the integration affects health behaviours or health status in the short term. These findings provide empirical evidence on the effects of insurance integration and policy implications for building an efficient hierarchical healthcare system. | |||
