Overview

Exploratory trial examines AI tools for enhancing youth-led community engagement in environmental health initiatives.

Key Points

  • This study explores the use of generative AI tools in supporting youth-led citizen science interventions focused on environmental health.
  • Exploratory action research with a preparation and implementation phase.
  • 12 adolescent citizen scientists used AI for structured feedback and visual prototypes.
  • Data sources included field notes, session recordings, and outputs for descriptive analysis.
  • Structured GPT prompts facilitated critical analysis and solution refinement for interventions.
  • AI generated outputs varied in quality; early outputs often required refinement.
  • Adobe Photoshop AI produced effective visual prototypes, while DALL-E lacked realism, highlighting potential feasibility issues.
