Fig. 1 — Panels a and b show the change (from the initial assessment to the final assessment) in the average diagnostic accuracy of clinicians. Panel a shows the control conditions. Panel b shows the network conditions. The insets in both panels show the total improvement (in percentage points) in the accuracy of clinicians’ diagnostic assessments. Error bars display 95% confidence intervals; data points display the mean change for each of the trials (N = 7) in each condition. Panels c and d show the change (from the initial recommendation to the final recommendation) in the proportion of clinicians recommending the guideline-recommended treatment recommendation—referral to the emergency department for immediate cardiac evaluation (Option C)—for the white male patient-actor and Black female patient-actor. Panel c shows the control conditions. Panel d shows the network conditions. The insets in both panels show the total improvement (in percentage points) in the percent of clinicians recommending the guideline-recommended treatment. Error bars display 95% confidence intervals; data points display the mean change for each of the trials (N = 7) in each condition. Panels e and f show the change (from the initial response to the final response) in the odds of clinicians recommending option A (unsafe undertreatment) rather than option C (highest quality, guideline-recommended treatment) for each patient-actor. Panel e shows the control conditions. Panel f shows the network conditions. The insets in both panels show the total reduction in the likelihood that clinicians would recommend unsafe undertreatment rather than the guideline-recommended treatment for each patient-actor. Error bars display 95% confidence intervals; data points display the mean change for each of the trials (N = 7) in each condition.
