Evaluation of a Guided Chatbot Intervention for Young People in Jordan: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Evaluation of a Guided Chatbot Intervention for Young People in Jordan: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the STARS intervention and study procedures among young people in Jordan.

However, COVID-19 meant that accessing schools was not feasible.
