NCT ID NCT07658547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study surveys 150 adults with severe mental illness to learn how they use AI chatbots for mental health support. Participants answer a one-time anonymous online survey about their experiences, expectations, and concerns. The goal is to understand usage patterns and inform future mental health care, not to test any treatment.
