Book excerpt: This report, based on a representative survey of 1,076 US full time college students at 4-year colleges and universities in the United States, presents highly detailed data on the perceptions of college students about how the pandemic have impacted their mental health and their personal prospects. We asked the representative panel how the pandemic impacted their capacity to make and maintain friendships, whether they have had to intervene to help a fellow student in psychological crisis, and how the pandemic had impacted their overall mental health. We asked about plans to see a therapist or counselor in the next year, and also asked students if they had entertained suicidal thoughts in the past year. In addition, the report gives detailed data on student assessment of the performance of the college mental health service during the crisis. In addition to quantitative questions, we also asked students to expound on how the pandemic had impacted them.Just a few of this 145-page report's many findings are that:13% of the quintile of the most religious students on campus have entertained suicidal thoughts during the pandemic.Female students were nearly twice as likely as male students but only about half as likely as transgender students to feel that they will visit a counselor or therapist within the next year.51% of students who grew up in rural areas felt that the pandemic had significantly impacted their capacity to make and maintain friendships.Gay and bisexual students had a tougher time than straight students; more than 66% of gay students and nearly 64% of bisexual ones had a tough time vs. nearly 51% of straight students.Data is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of college, tuition level of college, and many other variables.

Castillo and published by JIS. This book was released on with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does Mental Health Literacy Predict Help- Seeking Behaviors Among Depressed Asian International Students? Da Hwin Kim Emma C. McWhorter Linda G. Castillo Department of Educational Psychology, Texas A&M University, USA ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine whether Asian international students’ mental health literacy predicts mental health help-seeking behaviors above and beyond known influencing factors. Hierarchical logistic regression was conducted in analyzing a national sample of 460 Asian international students who reported depressive symptomatology. Results indicated that students who identified as female and experienced more days of academic impairment were more likely to seek counseling. Additionally, having more knowledge on mental disorders and treatments and campus mental health services were positively related to helpseeking behavior. However, the ability to recognize the development of mental disorders in others was negatively associated with seeking mental health help. Implications for administrators, college program planners, and mental health providers are discussed. Keywords: Asian, college students, help-seeking, international students, mental health literacy

Download or read book Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health problem or will misuse alcohol or drugs in their lifetimes. These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States.

Book excerpt: This study aimed to explore the mental health of undergraduate college students within the context of COVID-19 pandemic, as well as cognitions about health threat and engagement in protective health behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were (N = 276) undergraduate students attending the University of North Florida. Students completed a SONA systems survey between March 2021 and December 2021. Participants received course credit for completing the survey. Survey questions were taken from the Perceived Effectiveness of COVID-19 Prevention Effectiveness Protocols scale (Prasetyo et al., 2020). Three types of variables were assessed: demographics, perceived threat, and planned action. Correlational analyses were conducted to assess potential significant relationships between these variables and self-reported anxiety (GAD-7) and depression (PHQ-9). Hierarchical linear regression analyses were conducted to explore relationship among demographics, perceived threat, and planned action and dependent anxiety and depression. Perceived threat was found to be a significant predictor variable for both anxiety and depression. Further research should look more into cultural factors that impact engagement in health behaviors.
