Can a website help young people understand depression?
NCT ID NCT06668701
First seen Sep 21, 2026 · Last updated Sep 21, 2026
Summary
Researchers at LMU Munich are studying how children, teenagers, and parents use a German website called 'ich bin alles,' which provides evidence-based information about depression in young people. The study aims to understand who visits the site, how they perceive its content, and whether it reaches the intended audiences. Participants are simply website users, and the research relies on questionnaires and anonymous usage data to assess usability, visual appeal, and intentions to return.
