Peer power: AI-Enhanced mentoring aims to stop anxiety and depression before they start
NCT ID NCT07472894
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an AI-informed peer-mentoring program can help healthy teens and young adults (ages 12-25) manage stress and build social skills, lowering their risk of developing anxiety or depression. Researchers will compare this program to standard mentoring and health education. The goal is to see if older peers can guide younger ones through shared activities over a school year to prevent mental health issues.
