In order to provide reflective feedback, the system automatically detects the topics being discussed (e.g., work, family) or emotions being felt (e.g., anger, anxiety), and responds with a reflective prompt that asks the user to elaborate or to answer a related question to explore that concept more deeply. Nonetheless, we believe that this comparison provides evidence that a dialogue system such as Expressive Interviewing is more effective in helping users cope with COVID-19 issues as compared to a general purpose dialogue system for mental health.	./cache/cord-237721-rhcvsqtk.txt	./txt/cord-237721-rhcvsqtk.txt
