Our team is presenting a poster called “Integrating Artificial Intelligence into the Evaluation of Opioid Overdose Education Programs" at the TMC AI Summit taking place at the Duncan Neurological Research Institute.
Congratulations to Audrey Lopez, Dr. Francine R. Vega, PhD, MS, Christine River Block (Bakos-Block), Ph.D., LCSW, Thu Le and other participants in this project.
The poster compares traditional unpaired statistical approaches with AI-assisted thematic interpretation (using ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot) to evaluate Opioid Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) training programs.
Key takeaways: both methods converged on meaningful post-training improvements (knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy), while AI added extra “why this matters” clarity by refining themes, proposing scoring logic, and highlighting item-level drivers of change.
Please stop by the seventh floor to learn more about the research group's findings.
