Evaluating an AI-Generated Health Podcast

This intervention involves inviting a group of subject matter experts-including dental specialists, public health professionals, and communication experts-to evaluate the adapted questionnaire. The questionnaire, derived from the Questionnaire for Assessing Educational Podcasts (QAEP) and tailored for assessing an AI-generated health podcast, covers four dimensions: Access and Use, Design and Structure, Content Adequacy, and Value as an Aid to Learning. Experts will complete a structured online survey (via Google Form) to rate each item's clarity, relevance, and necessity. Their feedback is integral to refining and validating the instrument prior to its use with the general public.

Participants in this group will first listen to a 4-minute AI-generated health podcast on gum health and prevention. The podcast was produced using Google NotebookLM and is based on publicly available information from the American Academy of Periodontology, with appropriate source credit. After listening, participants will complete a validated questionnaire (administered via Google Form) that assesses the podcast's accessibility, design, content adequacy, and educational value. This intervention is designed to measure public perception, engagement, and overall feasibility of using AI-generated podcasts as an educational tool for health communication.
