Study context
22 workshop contributors and 47 survey respondents, including 36 parents and 11 young people
Age / stage: Children/young people aged 8+ invited for questionnaire; parents/carers
Read with three questions
- Why should parents and young people be distinct design groups?
- How did participants compare a specialist chatbot with ChatGPT?
- Why are hypothetical preferences different from tested clinical benefit?
Keep the limits in view
Voluntary selected sample, possible overlap across phases and forced-choice preferences; chatbot not yet developed, so acceptance is hypothetical.
