Just In Time! ChatGPT Prompt Development Tips and Tricks
To help you answer these questions, here is an overview and application of the visual–How to Write Your Prompts by Adam Biddlecombe. The cheat sheet provides tips and tricks for effectively writing prompts for ChatGPT. If the visual is blurry, Google the Title. It covers various topics such as clarity, specificity, and context.
A good prompt consists of four key elements: instruction, which specifies the task; context, which adds necessary background information; input data, which supplies relevant details for guidance; and an output indicator, which clarifies the desired format of the response.
Users should start with simple prompts and gradually increase complexity for best results. Specificity is crucial—detailed prompts often lead to better outcomes. Advanced techniques, such as chain-of-thought prompting and prompt chaining, can improve interactions by guiding the AI through reasoning steps or breaking down complex tasks into manageable parts.
By following these principles, users can significantly enhance their interactions with AI. They can discover more effective strategies for crafting powerful prompts in the following tips and examples.
Prompt Example: Leveraging ChatGPT for Equitable Engagement and Social Determinants of Health
- Goal: Foster equitable engagement in underserved areas and build partnerships to address social determinants of health in marginalized communities.
- Framework: CRAP Test (Clarity, Relevance, Accuracy, Precision)
Prompt Breakdown
- Clarity: Ensure the prompt is clear and concise, avoiding ambiguity or jargon.
- Relevance: Ensure the prompt directly relates to the desired outcome and aligns with the organization’s goals.
- Accuracy: Provide accurate, up-to-date information to ensure the AI generates relevant and informative responses.
- Precision: Use specific language and examples to guide the AI’s response and avoid overly broad or generic answers.
Possible AI and Chat Prompt Generated Responses
Based on the CRAP Test, ChatGPT could generate recommendations for:
- Community engagement strategies: Identify effective strategies for engaging with underserved communities, such as community-based participatory research or culturally relevant outreach programs.
- Partnership building: Develop partnerships with community organizations, healthcare providers, and government agencies to address social determinants of health.
- Equity assessment: Conduct an equity assessment to identify disparities and prioritize areas for intervention.
- Data-driven decision-making: Utilize data and analytics to inform decision-making and identify evidence-based interventions.
- Advocacy and policy change: Advocate for policies and systems changes that address social determinants of health and promote equity.
- Cultural competency training: Provide staff with training on cultural competency and sensitivity to ensure effective engagement with diverse communities.
- Community-led initiatives: Support community-led initiatives that address local needs and priorities.
- Evaluation and monitoring: Implement a system for monitoring progress and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions to ensure they are meeting their intended goals.
Example: Identifying Funding Resources and Strengthening Grant Applications
ChatGPT could be used to:
- Research funding opportunities: Identify potential funding sources, including government grants, foundations, and corporate giving programs.
- Analyze grant guidelines: Review the requirements to ensure eligibility and develop strong proposals.
- Tailor grant proposals: Customize grant proposals to align with the specific needs and priorities of the project.
- Provide feedback on proposals: Review and provide feedback on grant proposals to ensure they are well-written, persuasive, and meet all requirements.
- Track grant submissions and awards: Maintain a database of grant submissions and awards to track progress and identify successful strategies.
By utilizing the CRAP Test and providing relevant data, organizations can leverage ChatGPT to develop effective strategies for equitable engagement, address social determinants of health, and secure funding for their initiatives. Now, you’re ready to address the above questions and prepare for your questions of the staff. I recommend you provide a copy of the visual and some instructions for your meeting.
