| مستخلص: | The prevalence and severity of mental health issues are increasing among college students, and such issues pose a threat to health and academic performance. Purpose: The primary purpose of the study is to examine differences in mental health diagnoses and their related academic impact with a special focus on classification year in college. Subjects and Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis. Responses from 66,159 U.S. undergraduate students about mental health and academics from the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment II were examined using regression analyses. Results: Differences in mental health diagnoses were found by classification with first-year students reporting higher rates of self-injury and seriously considering suicide. Upperclassmen reported higher rates of academic impact from mental health factors. Conclusions and Recommendations: Findings indicate one's first-year of college as the prime time to promote awareness of and strategies to prevent mental health issues or negative academic effects; implications for first-year experience programs are discussed. |
