Student Mental Health
We are conducting a series of projects on the topic of student mental health. Here are two examples:
1. Scoping Review
Project Summary
This scoping review seeks to synthesize research on the factors influencing the mental health of undergraduate students in the health field. Considering the high prevalence of mental health issues within this population, this project will inform the development of interventions for mental health promotion and problem prevention.
2. Achieving better mental health for university rehabilitation students: A scoping review and mixed-methods study.
Project Summary
This Master’s thesis project aims to 1) synthesize knowledge about mental health interventions available to undergraduate students in a health field, and 2) explore the views of undergraduate occupational therapy and physical therapy students on the appropriateness of mental health interventions in relation to their needs, in addition to factors influencing their mental health.
Funders
These projects are partially supported through operational funds from the Canada Research Chairs Program awarded to Shalini Lal, PhD. There is no specific grant funding for these projects.
