ABSTRACT Introduction The isolation policy caused by COVID-19 is plaguing physical exercise behavior, which seems to affect college students’ physical and mental health. Objective Understand the current situation of college students’ exercise behavior during COVID-19, analyzing the physical and mental health status to provide policy guidance on formulating appropriate exercise behavior for college students in the context of the epidemic. Methods 250 students from 20 colleges and universities in China were randomly selected as observation volunteers. The adherents’ exercise-related behavior and physical and mental health were observed and analyzed by questionnaire, and subsequently evaluated according to statistical methods. Results The results showed that exercise motivation, exercise frequency, exercise duration, and exercise items of the surveyed individuals affected the physical and mental health of college students; these effects were statistically significant (p

This dataset relates to a study looking at the correlation between undergraduate student mental health and work-life balance. It was found that work-life balance is a strong predictor of student anxiety and depression. It was also found that students that work longer hours have higher instances of anxiety. This was a primary research study replicating previously performed research. Data were collected using Qualtrix, an online survey platform. Participants were recruited via in-class announcements, university sponsored emails, and social media posts. Data includes demographics on participants, descriptive statistics, as well as correlation data.

In Spring 2020, around 40.9 percent of college students in the United States reported having depression, compared to 35.7 percent in Fall 2019. This statistic illustrates the prevalence of select mental health and substance use issues among college students in the United States in Fall 2019 and Spring 2020.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, U.S. college students reported increased anxiety and depression. This study examines mental health among U.S college students during the subsequent 2020–2021 academic year by surveying students at the end of the fall 2020 and the spring 2021 semesters. Our data provide cross-sectional snapshots and longitudinal changes. Both surveys included the PSS, GAD-7, PHQ-8, questions about students’ academic experiences and sense of belonging in online, in-person, and hybrid classes, and additional questions regarding behaviors, living circumstances, and demographics. The spring 2021 study included a larger, stratified sample of eight demographic groups, and we added scales to examine relationships between mental health and students’ perceptions of their universities’ COVID-19 policies. Our results show higher-than-normal frequencies of mental health struggles throughout the 2020–2021 academic year, and these were substantially higher for female college students, but by spring 2021, the levels did not vary substantially by race/ethnicity, living circumstances, vaccination status, or perceptions of university COVID-19 policies. Mental health struggles inversely correlated with scales of academic and non-academic experiences, but the struggles positively correlated with time on social media. In both semesters, students reported more positive experiences with in-person classes, though all class types were rated higher in the spring semester, indicating improvements in college students’ course experiences as the pandemic continued. Furthermore, our longitudinal data indicate the persistence of mental health struggles across semesters. Overall, these studies show factors that contributed to mental health challenges among college students as the pandemic continued.

In the United States around 22 percent of college or university students reported that in the past year, they could not use mental health services that they otherwise would have received due to financial reasons and 24 percent of students reported that they did not have enough time for such services. This statistic shows the percentage of college students experiencing barriers to mental health services in the United States in 2023-2024.

In 2024, over 70 percent of college students in the United States had a primary health insurance cover through their parent/guardian (or their employer). This statistic depicts the share of primary sources of health insurance among U.S. college students.

Abstract We sought to investigate the mental health profile of university students and possible individual aspects, life habits and associated academic experiences. 844 students were included, predominantly female with a mean age of 22.57 years, who answered a socioeconomic and life habits questionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. Cluster and multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed. Three profiles were identified: students with good, moderate and poor mental health. Married or single students, from exact sciences, who studied in a public university and did not work, with low alcohol consumption were more likely to have a good mental health. Understanding the association of life habits and academic experiences with different profiles is relevant to develop interventional strategies with this public.

This XLSX file contains 7 sheets: "SCL-90" sheet collected mental health assessment information from 38,661 college students during their first academic year; "SCL-90 (Total Score > 160)" sheet screened out the mental health assessment information of college students whose total score is greater than 160 in the "SCL-90" sheet; "PHQ-9" sheet collected mental health assessment information from 33,188 college students during their second or third academic year; "PHQ-9 (positive)" sheet screened out college students who chose 2 or 3 for the ninth item of PHQ-9 in the "PHQ-9" sheet; "GAQ" sheet collected the responses to the Growth Adversity Questionnaire from 392 college students; "QCA data set (N=76)" sheet and "QCA data set (N=50)" sheet are the data used for qualitative comparative analysis.

The University Student Mental Health data was gathered during the fall of 2020. This online survey included sections on demographics, mental health, changes in mental health during the pandemic, self-care habits (sleep, exercise, emotion regulation, social support, and mindfulness), and both recreation (athletics partying, games, and watching online videos) and academic hobbies (studying, participating in academic organizations, attending office hours, and using educational resources).

A survey of college students in the United States from the fall of 2024 found that around 38 percent of students had been diagnosed with a cold/virus or other respiratory illness in the past 12 months, making this the most common diagnosis among students. Other common diagnoses included the flu and orthopedic injuries. Common health conditions among U.S. college students Concerning the most common health conditions U.S. college students had ever been diagnosed with, anxiety, environmental allergies, and acne were the most often reported. As of the fall of 2024, around 35 percent of college students in the U.S. stated they had been diagnosed with anxiety at some point in their lifetime. Anxiety was also the second most often reported condition that college students saw a healthcare professional for in the past year. Other health conditions college students saw a healthcare provider about were thyroid conditions, depression, and bipolar and related conditions. Mental health among college students As seen above, mental health problems are common among college students in the United States, with anxiety and depression particularly widespread. A survey of college students from 2022-2023 found that around 36 percent reported having been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, while 30 percent had been diagnosed with depression or another mood disorder. The same survey found that in the past year around 14 percent of college students had suicidal ideation, while six percent made suicide plans, and two percent attempted suicide. Many universities in the United States now offer on-campus mental health resources, however, around 19 percent of students state they do not know where to go on campus for professional help for mental or emotional health problems.

In 2024, around 35 percent of college or university students surveyed in the United States reported they had been diagnosed with anxiety at some point in their life. This statistic shows the percentage of college students in the U.S. who reported having ever been diagnosed by a healthcare or mental health professional with select ongoing or chronic conditions, as of fall 2024.

ABSTRACT Since the reform and opening up, China’s national living standards have gradually improved, but the current physical health level of college students has not increased with the improvement of living standards. The physical health of college students — as high-quality talents of the country — is related to the future of the country and the nation,. In order to explore the influencing factors of college students’ physical health, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to evaluate the factors affecting students’ physical health. This study analyzes the index of students’ physical health through the method of literature, then revises the evaluation index through expert analysis and analytic hierarchy process, and verifies it through examples. The results show that the final score of the school students’ physical health is 81.55, of which the school factor has the greatest impact on the students’ physical health, and the school factor score is far from the expected score. We can promote the development of students’ physical exercise and improve the level of students’ physical health through the improvement of school sports management. This study provides reference for the healthy development of public sports students in China.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective treatment for improving mental health problems among university students. However, intervention components have different effects on mental health problems. This paper is a meta-analysis of the data concerning the relationship between cognitive behavioral variables and mental health status among university students. A total of 4 electronic databases were reviewed, and 1,227 articles met the initial selection criteria. Reviewers applied standardized coding schemes to extract the correlational relationship between cognitive behavioral variables and mental health status. A total of 54 articles were included in the meta-analysis. Correlations were found for three cognitive behavioral variables (attention, thought, and behavior) across nine mental health domains (negative affect, positive affect, happiness, social function, stress response, psychological symptom, quality of life, well-being, and general health). Across each cognitive behavioral process and all mental health domains, the estimated mean correlation is modest (.29 - .41), and the correlation depended on the domain of mental health.

This dataset was gathered through a cross-sectional observational study investigating the prevalence and risk factors of mental and general health symptoms among university students attending in-person classes during COVID-19.
