How can we better predict and support student mental wellbeing
Mental wellbeing amongst University students is of growing concern.
Research Opportunities
Summary
Indeed, the number of university students in Scotland seeking mental health support increased by 76% between 2012 and 2017. This is further reflected in the increasing demand for counselling services reported by 94% of higher education providers. Several studies indicate that mental health problems have serious effects on students’ attainment, progression, and study outcomes (Evans et al., 2018) yet little is known about the factors that moderate this effect. This study aims to employ a mixed methods approach to investigate the factors that moderate the relationship between student wellbeing and student outcomes, whilst exploring student’s perspectives on how Universities could better support student wellbeing.
