Across five mainstream LLMs, models answered all medical questions, but responses to low health-literacy signals consistently omitted more key information, provided fewer concrete next steps, and offered less support for independent judgment. [^4]

Researchers introduced the Medical Information Response Audit (MIRA), a bilingual, controlled benchmark that assesses whether large language models provide comparable medical information across user-side language, register, and health literacy signals. [^5]

A knowledge-guided mitigation prompt reduces information dilution for most models, with the largest reductions in underinformative simplification observed for Claude (~8%) and Qwen (~6%). [^11]

The authors term this pattern of reduced information for low-literacy users Differential Information Dilution (DID). [^12]
