Artificial intelligence allows to create at-home vocal messages from an audioclip.

Since the reasons for this lack of consideration are not yet fully understood, we created an Online Prevention Survey (OPS) to investigate the role of both sociodemographic and psychological factors in predicting individuals' spontaneous participation in secondary…
