Study Information

Welcome and thank you for taking part in this study.

In this study, we aim to learn more about how people perceive and experience interactions with a digital avatar in a mental health screening context.

What will you do?

• Read the study information and provide consent to participate.
• Create a personal participant code.
• Watch a short video showing an interaction between a potential user and a digital avatar in a mental health screening context.
• Answer questions about your impressions of the avatar and the interaction.
• Complete a short demographic questionnaire.

Important information

• Participation is voluntary.
• No directly identifying personal information (e.g., name, email address, or contact details) will be collected.
• Some topics discussed in the video relate to emotional well-being and mental health symptoms. Although the interaction is fictional and does not provide any diagnosis or assessment, some participants may experience mild emotional discomfort.
• If you feel uncomfortable at any time, or simply decide not to continue, you may discontinue your participation at any time without providing a reason and without any negative consequences.

Duration

The entire study will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
