In the researchers' words
The primary aim of the proposed Randomised Control study is to investigate the effects of a socially assisted robot (i.e. Purrble) on emotional regulation difficulties (measured by DERS8) with young LGBTQ+ people who have self-harmful (with or without suicidal intention) (in comparison to a wait-listed control). Secondary aims include investigating the effects of the Purrble on young people's self-harmful thoughts, symptoms of anxiety and depression, alongside quantitative and qualitative (interviews) measures of engagement with the intervention.
