Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Firearm violence research remains underfunded and difficult to scale due to the lack of funding from the NIH and CDC. |
| Approach: | They use open-source large language models to inductively code interviews with 21 Black men who have survived community firearm violence. |
| Outcome: | The use of open-source LLMs to inductively code interviews with 21 Black men shows that the models can identify important codes, but that they are highly sensitive to data processing. |
