The AURA Study

Mental Health

This study is about understanding the experiences of youth aged 15 to 24 with using AI chat tools like ChatGPT to support their mental health. We want to learn who is using these tools, why they are using them, and what their experiences have been. We’re also interested in how youth might use these tools when moving from pediatric to adult care. Some youth may use AI tools instead of a professional because they feel more private, always available, and feel less judgemental. We are inviting youth to take a short online survey. Some may also be asked to do a virtual interview where they can show us how they use these tools. What we learn will help mental health services better support youth in the future.
