我们估计了美国大学生心理健康问题的患病率和相关性。 2007 年和 2009 年，我们对全国 26 个校园的学生进行了在线调查，并进行了简短的心理健康筛查。我们使用样本概率权重来调整调查无答复。共有 14,175 名学生完成了调查，相当于 44% 的参与率。抑郁症筛查阳性率为 17.3%，恐慌症筛查阳性率为 4.1%，广泛性焦虑症筛查阳性率为 7.0%，自杀意念筛查阳性率为 6.3%，非自杀性自残筛查阳性率为 15.3%。心理健康问题与性别、种族/民族、宗教信仰、人际关系状况、校园生活和经济状况显着相关。尽管校园层面的差异仅占学生心理健康总体差异的一小部分，但各个校园的患病率差异很大。研究结果为识别可能有助于制定干预策略的个人和背景因素提供了一个起点。
We estimated the prevalence and correlates of mental health problems among college students in the United States. In 2007 and 2009, we administered online surveys with brief mental health screens to random samples of students at 26 campuses nationwide. We used sample probability weights to adjust for survey nonresponse. A total of 14,175 students completed the survey, corresponding to a 44% participation rate. The prevalence of positive screens was 17.3% for depression, 4.1% for panic disorder, 7.0% for generalized anxiety, 6.3% for suicidal ideation, and 15.3% for nonsuicidal self-injury. Mental health problems were significantly associated with sex, race/ethnicity, religiosity, relationship status, living on campus, and financial situation. The prevalence of conditions varied substantially across the campuses, although campus-level variation was still a small proportion of overall variation in student mental health. The findings offer a starting point for identifying individual and contextual factors that may be useful to target in intervention strategies.
