Results: Overall, 27.9% and 9.2% endorsed clinical and high levels of depression and stress, respectively; 2.4% (n = 12) reported severe sleep disturbances and 12.4% (n = 63) problematic drinking. Except problematic drinking, being a woman ISA was associated with significantly higher levels of disturbance. Year in school interacted with gender for perceived stress; men ISAs in their 2nd year or higher reported the lowest levels. Conclusions: Large numbers of ISAs endorsed clinical/severe levels of psychological concerns at onset of COVID-19, likely due to the unique stressors experienced by this international college population. Athletic departments, like universities in general, must provide culturally-sensitive mental health services for their ISAs.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143070926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: College students with ADHD (n = 53) completed a survey on habitual exercise, emotion regulation (expression suppression, cognitive reappraisal), medication status, and QoL. A moderated mediation model was used to examine relationships between exercise, emotion regulation strategies, QoL, and ADHD medication. A subset of participants (n = 6) completed semi-structured interviews on exercise benefits. Results: There was a positive main effect of exercise on expression suppression, (p = 0.007). There was a stronger association between exercise and cognitive reappraisal in participants taking ADHD medication (p = 0.006) than those not medicated (p = 0.942). Qualitative analysis identified primary themes of both ADHD-related exercise benefits (e.g. reduced hyperactivity), and non-ADHD-related exercise benefits (e.g. feelings of accomplishment).

Furthermore, the PERMA (positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishments) theory of well-being was used as a theoretical lens to understand participant well-being. Results: ADTP provided opportunities for meaningful service learning, working with animals, developing career interests, fulfilling personal interests, and meeting degree requirements. ADTP participation positively influenced the undergraduate experience by advancing personal and academic growth and life skill development. Finally, the ADTP positively influenced student well-being. Conclusions: Lessons learned to strengthen the ADTP were identified and are discussed. The ADTP can be a model for replication on other campuses to meet the need for more assistance dogs and potentially to support student and community well-being.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: College students (N = 1883; Mage=19.81, SD = 1.33) completed a survey and 21 daily reports of affect (M = 19.41 surveys, SD = 4.19). We calculated mean affect and affect variability (i.e., standard deviation) from daily reports. Regression models then tested associations between positive and negative affect variability and mental health. Results: Participants with higher positive affect variability had higher anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and surprisingly higher flourishing. Higher negative affect variability was associated with poor mental health for individuals with low mean negative affect, and was associated with better mental health for individuals with high mean negative affect. Conclusion: Affect variability may simultaneously tax mental health for certain individuals and enable others to appreciate daily experiences and have better mental health.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants: 124 students at a Californian graduate-only university participated in the evaluation. Methods: A single-group, pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental design tested the effect of exposing graduate students to posters carrying attribution-based messages. The campaign lasted for seven weeks in 2023. Results: Although not all outcomes were influenced, statistically significant increases in perceptions of mental health culture and willingness to disclose mental health struggles to peers and faculty were detected with medium effect sizes. There were also statistically significant increases in visits to an intervention website advertised exclusively on campaign materials. No backfiring effects were detected, an issue that campaigns must be vigilant about.

There were no significant differences in PA between ethnic groups (p = .39). PA referrals by HCPs were completed in only 1.5% of the sample.

Methods: Participants were instructed to use ACT Guide for 10 wk and were randomly assigned to receive weekly peer coaching through either phone calls or text messaging. Results: We found our peer coaching model to be feasible for delivery via phone and text, however acceptability varied widely. Phone coaching performed significantly better than the text format. Conclusions: Our results support the feasibility of using peer coaching with a college student population, particularly when delivered through phone calls.
