Population/Problem:
This study is focused on Male Adolescents who are at risk where it concerns their mental health. The focused age range is from the age of 15 to 25 years. Males have always been viewed as being inherently superior to women, and this negative stereotype persists in modern culture.When being tested for mental health difficulties like suicide and substance use disorders,  young men perform worse than their female teen contemporaries. Teenage and early adult men have a distinct "health risk profile" from young women and girls, which implies their intervention needs are different, according to a 2018 review in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

Intervention:
Up to the age of 25, a person's brain continues to develop, and during this time, kids and teenagers learn intellectual and emotional skills that will affect their mental health in the future. They learn how to control their emotions, establish restful sleeping habits, and hone their social and problem-solving abilities so they can deal with issues in constructive ways. Ages 15-25, studies show that the habits we learn adapt to, follow us throughout the rest of our lives. In the issued age range, technology consumption is also at an all time high. For this reason, the intervention that one can be certain will have an impact are chatbots. A chatbot is a computer program that mimics a smart interaction with human users. It's very likely that the future of planning and administration in the healthcare industry will be dominated by healthcare chatbots. According to researchaimable.com, “Today, chatbots offer diagnosis of symptoms, mental healthcare consultation, nutrition facts and tracking, and more. For example, in 2020 WhatsApp teamed up with the World Health Organization (WHO) to make a chatbot service that answers users’ questions on COVID-19.” In this case of our group study, the use of this intervention is highly beneficial.

Comparison :
The participants in these studies consisted of young people with age ranging from 18-37 years old. In comparison to other forms of technology in healthcare, there is a  positive result or correlation when it comes to telehealth. Yes, you can speak to your healthcare provider from the comfort of your own home, however, it does not compare to what an in-person appointment with a provider can be like. In specification to chat bots, chat bots are not a provider but they do speed up the process when it comes to a diagnosis. The sources cited have concluded chatbots are feasible, accessible, and help with early diagnosis with mental health depression.

Outcome:
The outcome of the studies was there is no evidence for long term, there will eventually be studies on it as time goes on. As for the short term, there have been positive outcomes about being able to obtain early medical diagnosis. Once there is a medical diagnosis, the person will able to know what provider to go based on their specialty. Chat bots will help tremendously in the aid of reducing suicide rates and help in detecting people who run the risk of suicide. The results in the study of Early detection of depression using a conversational AI bot: A non-clinical trial. reveals that 79% are satisfactory use and engagement.
