Objective:

To compare the quality, credibility, usefulness, and adoption intention of pediatric asthma education materials generated by expert authors and those generated by GPT-4o.

Approach:
  • Study Design: A multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind study conducted in Shanghai, assessing health education materials from published expert-authored responses, GPT-4o-generated responses, and GPT-4o-simplified responses.
Key Findings:
  • The study assessed three types of educational materials: published expert-authored responses, GPT-4o-generated responses, and GPT-4o-simplified responses.
  • Participants evaluated the materials based on quality, credibility, usefulness, and adoption intention.
Interpretation:

The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of LLM-generated materials in pediatric asthma education, focusing on user perspectives.

Limitations:
  • The study did not evaluate clinical, therapeutic, preventive, or behavioral outcomes.
  • The sample may not fully represent all healthcare settings.
Conclusion:

The findings will contribute to understanding the role of LLMs in generating effective health education materials for pediatric asthma.
