Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Interviews and co-design workshops with 12 medical students yielded four design themes: human SPs as reference practices, extending practice beyond dialogue, connecting activities across the encounter, and supporting post-session review. → Zhiqi Gao 2026

Qualitative design study: 12 clinical-year medical students in Years 4–6 completed semi-structured interviews and three co-design workshops; hybrid thematic analysis of transcripts and workshop artifacts "produced 235 statement cards: 169 from the formative interviews and 66 from the workshops," from which four design-oriented themes emerged.
"This process produced 235 statement cards: 169 from the formative interviews and 66 from the workshops."
