Mental Health of college students - a precision public health approach

University Colleges Leuven-Limburg researches and supports the mental wellbeing of its students with the first-year college students project (EJO).             

All first-year students are invited to participate in the study via the baseline-questionnaire and will be invited to participate in the follow-up questionnaire each consecutive year. The mental wellbeing of the students is mapped via a validated online questionnaire. We offer the students instant support by sending them a personalized email with feedback and advice immediately after completing the questionnaire. Thereafter we intend to create a system that fits the needs by adapting our student support system to the identified needs of our students. This research is a collaboration with the WHO World Mental Health Surveys International College Students Project.
