Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether a Chatbot (conversational agent) for emotional wellbeing is engaging for older adolescents. <br>Engagement will be measured via usage data, which is collected for the duration of the 4-week intervention period. When a participant is interacting with the chatbot, the HABITs IT platform uses the HABITs API to send usage information to researchers - date when the chatbot was initiated, frequency of use, when the tool is used (time and date stamp), which activities/days are completed.<br>[This outcome is collected for the duration of the intervention period and will be analysed for the period up to completion of post-intervention outcome measures (between 4-6 weeks) ]
