Hello,
Our team is doing a research about mental health interventions, and we need your help!
Our goal is to apply the user-centered design process in developing a mental health chatbot and assess the feasibility of providing a chat-based mental health support and its effectiveness. Because this is user-centered design, we need your input as a potential user of the chat-based intervention. Your input will help in identifying the requirements and design considerations for the chatbot.
The target participants of this study are university students. Students can participate in two ways:
a) participation through an online survey, and/or
b) participation through the use of chat service in a mobile app
The online survey will elicit concerns and problems that students would like to discuss in a chat-based mental health support as well as their perceptions about a mental health chatbot. The chat service provides mental health support through a chat feature in an app. A mobile application will be downloaded, and in its chat feature, a student could connect to a licensed mental health professional and chat anonymously. There is also an optional interview that will elicit in-depth information on the students' needs, expectations and design requirements of the mental health chatbot to be developed. Interview participants will come from those who completed the online survey or chat service component of the study.
By participating in the study, you will help us understand what mental health support students need. Your input will be used to design a mental health chatbot and you will help in advancing mental health research for Filipino youth.

Thank you for your time. Your participation will help find solutions to support students' mental health.
