Patient educational materials (PEMs) are articles that are intended to assist patients in their understanding of a given medical condition. Given that the average American adult reads at the 8th grade level, the American Medical Association and the Center for Disease Control recommend PEM be written at the 6th grade level. However, literature has found the majority of PEMs to be written significantly higher than the 8th grade level. In order to improve their readability, a number of studies have displayed the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT to simplify the text of a given PEM. Despite the improvement in readability, the effectiveness of these simplified PEMs on improving patient comprehension of the AI augmented material has yet to be investigated.\n\nThe purpose of our study is to test whether the improvement in readability found in AI-simplified PEMs corresponds to a greater understanding of the material compared to the original PEM. Understanding if AI-simplified PEM truly improves comprehension could further support this use case for AI and aid providers and healthcare organizations in improving the health literacy of their patients.\n\nThis study aims to answer the following question:\n\nDo AI simplified PEMs improve the comprehension of pediatric orthopaedic conditions?\n\nResearchers will compare AI-simplified PEMs to their original, unmodified counterparts in order to see if there is any difference in post reading comprehension of the participants.\n\nParticipation in the study will include:\n\n* A brief baseline survey (e.g. demographics and educational attainment)\n* A randomly assigned reading of either the original PEM or the AI simplified version.\n* A 10 question post-reading multiple choice quiz",[27,28,29,30],"Artificial Intelligence (AI)","Health Literacy","Patient Comprehension","Patient Educational Material",[32,28,29,30],"Artificial Intelligence","RECRUITING","2026-04-02",{"date":36,"type":37},"2026-04-03","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":37},"2026-02-13",{"date":41,"type":21},"2027-05",{"name":43,"class":44},"Hospital for Special Surgery, New York","OTHER"]
