Validating GenAI feedback in suicide prevention training: a mixed-methods study of QPR skill assessment

This study provides critical initial evidence that GenAI can serve as a reliable feedback tool for evaluating complex crisis intervention skills. Its ability to provide consistent, scalable, and unbiased assessments opens new possibilities for accessible evidence-based training. Despite these strong foundational capabilities, the findings also highlight the need for further calibration to align GenAI's judgment more closely with expert human nuances and enable it to evolve beyond a purely performance-focused tool.
