Disorder/Condition:
Evidence Audit
1. Question you asked AI (insert screenshot of your prompt; must demonstrate that AI did
not write part of your draft): I showed it in class
2.
Summarize what CoPilot suggested (do not paste chat output):
Copilot said that ADHD is mixed with a bunch of different symptoms like hyperactivity, not
being able to regulate your emotions, and not being able to focus in class.
3.
Provide the sources or evidence AI suggested:
a.
Source 1 - https://www.cdc.gov/adhd/index.html
b.
c.
Source 2- https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/attention-deficit-hyperactivitydisorder-adhd
d.
…
4.
How did you verify the source (describe your steps):
e.
I verified the sources by checking DSM-5’s definition of ADHD and compared it with
what AI gave me. For the prevalence, I checked the source AI provided and made sure the
number in AI’s response matched the article. I also looked up other sources of the prevalence of
ADHD. In https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1525089/, the prevalence of ADHD https://www.cdc.gov/adhd/index.html
which matches AI’s claim.
5.
Are the sources AI recommends appropriate and real?
Yes, They are because they all have gov at the end of their websites
6.
What did you find when you read the original source/fact-checked? Highlight in what
sources you found the information:
I found that ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns
of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning
https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd
7.
Do the facts in the AI summary match the facts in the articles themselves? Essentially,
were you able to verify AI's claim? Explain why. (“Yes because, Partially because…, No
because…, AI/The source could not be verified”)
Partially because, while the operational definition and prevalence of ADHD were correct
8.
My scientific decision on whether I used the information given by AI and why:
I will use AI for the operational definition and prevalence of ADHD because they were correct when I
fact-checked them. I will not use the consequences suggested by AI because I found consequences
that are more common for ADHD in https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/160350
