This Project Grant award for $388,368 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) is for the development of a natural language processing (NLP)-based therapist tool to promote culturally responsive mental healthcare for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and LGBTQ+ communities.

The key objectives are to: 1) create an annotated dataset by coding 300 therapy sessions to assess culturally responsive care, 2) develop a prototype of the NLP-based therapist feedback tool ("HEAL") by creating a feedback visualizer, selecting speech recognition software, and developing/validating NLP models, and 3) pilot test the HEAL prototype with 15 therapists using standardized patients to evaluate its acceptability, feasibility, appropriateness, and usability. This research aims to address mental healthcare disparities experienced by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ populations and position the project lead to pursue further funding for a randomized clinical trial evaluation of the HEAL tool.
