Conversational agents for Children's mental health and mental disorders: A scoping review

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: • Conversational agents may overcome current barriers to mental health care. • The application of conversational agents to support the mental health of children and their families is largely unknown. • We reviewed 15 full-text articles in terms of their modality, study, and user characteristics. • Promising findings exist regarding acceptability and feasibility. • Only one efficacy study was found, indicating a need for further research in this area.
