Dataset for: AI-Driven Mental Health Literacy: An Interventional Study from India (Final Dataset for analysis)

The dataset is from an Indian study which made use of ChatGPT- a natural language processing model by OpenAI to design a mental health literacy intervention for college students. Prompt engineering tactics were used to formulate prompts that acted as anchors in the conversations with the AI agent regarding mental health. An intervention lasting for 20 days was designed with sessions of 15-20 minutes on alternative days. Fifty-one students completed pre-test and post-test measures of mental health literacy, mental help-seeking attitude, stigma, mental health self-efficacy, positive and negative experiences, and flourishing in the main study, which were then analyzed using paired t-tests. The results suggest that the intervention is effective among college students as statistically significant changes were noted in mental health literacy and mental health self-efficacy scores. The study affirms the practicality, acceptance, and initial indications of AI-driven methods in advancing mental health literacy and suggests the promising prospects of innovative platforms such as ChatGPT within the field of applied positive psychology.
