The objective of AI-CARE is to train researchers and community members to use artificial intelligence (AI) to create plain-language summaries of research studies and to determine whether a co-creation process for developing these summaries improves understanding and relevance of the research, confidence in AI and in institutions, and AI literacy. The hypothesis is that AI-generated research summaries, co-developed with researchers and community partners, will significantly improve confidence in research and institutions, understanding and accessibility of the research, and appropriateness of the summary compared with standard researcher-generated materials, and that the educational and co-creation process will build community members' AI literacy and confidence in using AI, as well as researchers' readiness to use and comfort with using AI for communicating research.
This research project consists of four specific aims. Specific Aims 2 and 3 meet the NIH definition of a clinical trial. Accordingly, this ClinicalTrials.gov registration describes only the clinical trial conducted under Specifics Aims 2 and 3. The remaining aims involve non-interventional research activities and are not included in this registration. Aims 2 and 3 are an intentional sequential design.
Inclusion Criteria: * English-speaking individuals at least 18 years of age Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals unable to provide informed consent * Participants who have had formal training in AI prompt engineering The eligibility criteria are common to both Aims 2 and 3.
Participants review AI-generated summaries refined through iterative collaboration between researchers and community members using community-engaged co-design principles.
Participants review AI-generated summaries generated after researchers complete AI prompt-engineering training and develop optimized prompts.
Participants review plain-language research summaries generated using a standardized AI prompt without researcher prompt engineering or community co-design.
The co-designed summaries which result from this process will become one of the three intervention conditions evaluated in Aim 3.
