Summary
This study compares an AI-powered virtual agent to traditional teacher-led classes for teaching mental health literacy to 360 adolescents aged 11-18 in Shanghai. Over 6 weekly sessions, researchers will measure changes in mental health knowledge, attitudes, and help-seeking behaviors. The goal is to see if the digital approach is just as effective as in-person instruction.
