Improving the Well-Being of Low Socioeconomic Status Students at University

本项目旨在探索一种提高低社会经济地位大学生心理幸福感的新途径。大学生经历心理健康问题的风险很高，特别是来自低社会经济地位背景的学生风险更高。该项目旨在调查与大学相关的Facebook群组，以此作为一种通过改善低SES学生在大学期间的在线社会融合来改善他们的心理健康的方法。预期结果和好处包括一种可扩展的低成本方法，以减少澳大利亚每年花费数十亿美元的SES不平等。

This project aims to investigate a new approach to improving the mental well-being of university students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. University students have a high risk of experiencing mental health problems, and students from low SES backgrounds have a particularly high risk. This project aims to investigate university-relevant Facebook groups as a method of improving the mental well-being of low SES students by improving their online social integration at university. Expected outcomes and benefits include a scalable, low-cost approach to reducing an SES inequality that costs Australia billions of dollars each year.
