• Mental_Health_Tech_Survey.ipynb

The Mental_Health_Tech_Survey.ipynb notebook explores data from a survey of mental health in the tech workplace for the years 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The dataset is sourced from Kaggle and provided by Open Source Mental Illness (OSMI). This survey measures attitudes towards mental health-related issues in the tech workplace.

• utils
  utils contains helper_functions.py
  The helper_functions.py module includes essential functions used in the project for working with SQLite databases. These functions are responsible for connecting to the database, retrieving primary and foreign keys, executing queries, and more.
  generate_kaggle_credentials is a guide to set get the data within your workspace if you do not already have the KaggleAPI set up to work with your coding environment.
