We join the chatbot

We propose you to participate to the chatbot “CoAct for Mental Health”, a chatbot from people to people.

💡 What does the chatbot require me to do? To reflect on a range of experiences related to mental health that are covered in a series of brief stories. The chatbot asks you to respond on the grounds of your personal experience and your own unique perspective.

🔎 How will my answers be used? The stories use a range of direct and indirect means to learn about the mental health social support networks. Your answers to the stories enables a citizen science project that puts forward actions, measures and policy recommendations related to mental health social support networks.

👩‍💻 Who shares their experiences with me on the chatbot? A group of people who have experienced mental health problems either directly themselves or indirectly through a family member. These people act as co-researchers in the project. The idea is for the stories to be shared with as many people as possible worldwide.

📊 What data does this citizen science project gather? As a research team, we gather your replies to the stories. This data is then crossed with your answers to a sociodemographic questionnaire. Remember, you remain anonymous at all times: we have no means of identifying you. You’ll be invited to take part in interpreting the anonymised data once the chatbot has closed.
