Stress and Coping in College Youth
Depression and anxiety among college students is a major and growing public health challenge, with 25% of college students experiencing clinically significant internalizing disorders each year and the number of students seeking treatment at college counseling centers increasing 5 times faster than enrollment increases. Two-thirds of college dropouts leave for mental health reasons, and many others who stay in college experience severe impairments that impact their academic performance.
The goal of the SCCY听study is to better understand how certain neurocognitive processes interact to predict mood and anxiety symptoms.听
