1. A public health team wants to use AI to generate campaign messages about diabetes prevention. Which approach best demonstrates the principle of cultural adaptation discussed in this lesson?

   1. Creating distinct messages that use culturally relevant examples, trusted community messengers, and settings that reflect each audience's daily life
   2. Translating the English message directly into Spanish using an AI language model
   3. Focusing on statistical data about diabetes prevalence in the target population
   4. Ensuring the message uses medical terminology that is consistent across all materials

2. A health organization is developing COVID-19 vaccination messaging. Why must messages containing specific clinical claims like vaccine efficacy percentages receive additional review before distribution?

   1. AI models cannot generate numerical data accurately
   2. Federal regulations prohibit AI from generating any health statistics
   3. Clinical claims require subject matter expert review and clearance through the appropriate approval chain to prevent community harm from incorrect statistics
   4. Public health agencies lack the technology to verify AI-generated clinical data

3. What distinguishes plain language in public health messaging from simply using short words?

   1. It means rewriting complex medical studies into brief summaries
   2. Plain language means using only words with fewer than six letters
   3. The core principle is that if a 6th grader can read it, everyone can understand it—regardless of education level
   4. Plain language requires eliminating all technical medical terms from the message

4. When using AI to generate public health messages about mental health, what specific risk does the lesson highlight that requires vigilance?

   1. AI models can reproduce stigmatizing language about mental illness, reflecting patterns in training data
   2. Mental health messaging should never be generated by AI due to liability issues
   3. AI cannot understand the nuances of mental health terminology
   4. AI may generate messages that are too empathetic and could alarm readers

5. What role do trusted community messengers play in the AI-assisted public health messaging workflow described in this lesson?

   1. AI-generated copy should be reviewed by trusted community messengers before publication
   2. They provide the initial prompt to the AI system
   3. They train the AI models on local dialect patterns
   4. They approve all budgets for public health campaigns

6. A public health team uses an AI tool to generate messages about substance use recovery. What should they specifically include in their prompt to minimize the risk of generating harmful content?

   1. Explicit anti-stigma instructions and positive framing requirements
   2. Requests for dramatic, attention-grabbing language
   3. A requirement to include statistics about relapse rates
   4. Instructions to use medical terminology for accuracy

7. Why does the lesson emphasize positive behavior framing over fear-based messaging for sustained behavior change?

   1. Negative messaging causes too many ethical concerns
   2. AI tools cannot generate fear-based messages accurately
   3. Fear-based messaging is illegal in most jurisdictions
   4. Positive framing focuses on what to do rather than what not to do, which research shows outperforms fear-based approaches

8. An AI generates five different versions of a public health message: one for the general adult population at 6th-grade reading level, one for elderly adults, one for parents of young children, one for young adults 18-25, and one for Spanish-speaking communities. What is the primary value this approach provides?

   1. It eliminates the need for any community testing of the messages
   2. It compresses the drafting phase dramatically by generating audience-specific variants quickly
   3. It automatically translates content into all required languages
   4. It ensures the messages will work for all audiences without any human review

9. A health nonprofit is creating an obesity prevention campaign. Which element would a health equity lens review specifically examine in AI-generated messaging?

   1. Whether the message uses FDA-approved terminology
   2. Whether the message uses the most current obesity statistics
   3. Whether the message includes comparison to ideal body weight
   4. Whether the language blames, shames, or pathologizes the target community

10. When adapting a public health message from a printed brochure to an SMS campaign, what consideration is most important according to the principles in this lesson?

    1. Channel structure differs significantly—SMS requires different formatting than print due to character limits and attention context
    2. SMS messages should include more detailed medical information
    3. AI cannot generate SMS content without special training
    4. SMS campaigns are less effective than print materials

11. A hospital system wants to use AI to generate messages about HIV prevention for a local awareness campaign. What specific caution does the lesson advise when reviewing this AI-generated content?

    1. AI-generated HIV messages require FDA approval before use
    2. HIV messages should only contain statistics, not behavioral recommendations
    3. HIV is no longer a relevant public health concern
    4. AI models can reproduce stigmatizing language about HIV, so explicit anti-stigma review is essential

12. What distinguishes effective AI-assisted public health messaging from simply using AI to produce any health content quickly?

    1. Speed is the only important factor in AI-assisted messaging
    2. The effectiveness depends solely on the reading level used
    3. Effective messaging requires human review, community testing, and application of health equity principles alongside AI generation
    4. AI-generated content should never be revised by humans

13. A community health worker reviews AI-generated messages about childhood vaccinations. She suggests changes to include references to local community events and trusted local figures. What principle from the lesson is she applying?

    1. Maximum information density
    2. Plain language principle
    3. Cultural adaptation beyond simple translation
    4. Regulatory compliance requirements

14. Why is it important for AI-generated public health messages about sensitive topics to include explicit anti-stigma instructions in the initial prompt?

    1. To ensure the AI generates longer messages
    2. To prevent the AI from reproducing stigmatizing language that reflects patterns in its training data
    3. To comply with copyright requirements
    4. To make the messages more scientifically complex

15. A public health director argues that since AI can generate messages so quickly, focus groups and community testing are no longer necessary. How does the lesson counter this argument?

    1. Testing is only needed for messages about controversial health topics
    2. Human review and community testing remain essential despite AI's speed in generating initial drafts
    3. Focus groups should be replaced with AI-generated surveys only
    4. The lesson agrees that testing is no longer needed
