This project aims to contribute to national efforts to address high rates of depression and anxiety among 18-25 year-olds by investigating alterable factors that impact student mental health in Australia’s universities. With one in two young adults now engaged in post-secondary education, the research expects to generate critical new knowledge about educational conditions, practices and experiences that support (or thwart) the wellbeing-needs of students with diverse backgrounds. This knowledge will be translated into actionable, evidence-based recommendations for policy and innovation. Improving university student wellbeing should benefit the health, educational and employment trajectories of young adults in both the short-and longer-term.

该项目旨在通过调查影响澳大利亚大学学生心理健康的可变因素，为解决18-25岁青少年抑郁和焦虑高发问题的全国性努力做出贡献。由于每两个年轻人中就有一个正在接受高等教育，这项研究预计将产生关于教育条件、做法和经验的关键新知识，这些知识支持(或阻碍)不同背景学生的福祉需求。这些知识将转化为可操作的、以证据为基础的政策和创新建议。无论从短期还是长期来看，改善大学生的幸福感都应该有利于年轻人的健康、教育和就业轨迹。
