Lenin Medeiros et al.

Summary: This article is part of a project that explores the potential of chatbots in providing online emotional support tailored to stressors.

Saleha Shafie et al.

Summary: This study aimed to establish the lifetime mental health service utilisation among the general population of Singapore and found that certain sociodemographic characteristics were correlated with different service provider groups.
