Background
In this study we are interested to find out which chat method is perceived as the most helpful by adolescents. We investigate this by comparing experiences of adolescents using two different methods.
The research study
The study entails a brief questionnaire that is administered before and after the chat session. The questionnaire before the chat is assessing the extent to which the adolescent is concerned about the chat topic. The questions after the chat assess how they experience the chat and whether they know what to do next.
