Abstract

"Psychological distress is a serious social problem, especially among college students. Based on the literature, psychological distress can lead to negative behaviors, poor physical and mental health outcomes, and a decrease in academic performance in college students. This exploratory, cross-sectional study, utilizing a Qualtrics survey, will measure the causes of psychological distress in college students. The results aim to help bridge the gap for social workers and other professionals to better understand the causes of psychological distress in students so they can help target those areas."
