Structural factors, such as a lack of trained staff, cost of treatment, geographical disparity, and persistent stigma against mental illness, limit the provision of effective and timely mental health care. The development of effective digital mental health interventions is a challenge. The evaluation of conversational agent interventions is a complex task due to the diversity of populations and settings.
