LLMs Improve University Counseling Consent Forms

Researchers at West China Hospital of Sichuan University evaluated ChatGPT (GPT-5) and Grok-4 rewrites of 33 Chinese university counseling informed consent forms in a study published April 1, 2026. Both LLMs significantly improved readability (Lee-Yang index reduced from 28.68 to 22.39 and 24.37), expert-rated content quality, and volunteer comprehension, though Grok-4 often produced longer texts, indicating a completeness-versus-length trade-off.
Scoring Rationale
Peer-reviewed empirical study demonstrating actionable improvement in consent form clarity with two state-of-the-art LLMs. Scored high for credibility, actionability, and relevance; slightly moderated because the scope is focused on university counseling ICFs and Grok-4 increased document length.
