Adopting speech as their mode of interaction, speech-enabled conversational agents hold the potentials to enable more natural and engaging self-report experiences than traditional media (e.g., pen and paper, web, or smartphone systems). This thesis examines a speech-enabled conversational agent&rsquo;s feasibility to support the self-report of mental health and wellbeing. Findings suggest that conversational agents can accurately collect the self-reports of wellbeing compared to the paper-based gold standard and that people living with affective disorders find this technology useful and more engaging than web-based methods. These findings present initial evidence of conversational agents&rsquo; feasibility to support the self-report of mental health and wellbeing and indicate the potential of the technology in monitoring, assessing, and delivering interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy for mental illness.&nbsp;</p>
