Persuasive chatbot-based interventions for depression: a list of recommendations for improving reporting standards
Studies on chatbots for depression can improve reporting by specifically adding more technical details and chatbot evaluation. Such reporting of technical details is important even in papers on clinical trials that utilize chatbots in order to allow reproducibility and advance this field. Future work could obtain expert consensus on the recommended reporting items for chatbot-based interventions for depression.
