Harvard tests AI 'Chatbot Therapist' for Kids' mental health

NCT ID NCT07316647

Summary

This study tested whether a brief, interactive conversation with an AI chatbot could help improve mental health for young students in India. About 380 students in grades 6-8 used a 45-minute chatbot program designed to teach a 'growth mindset'β€”the belief that abilities can improve with effort. Researchers measured if this digital tool could reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to students who did not use it initially.
