Finding ways to promote positive mental health among students is critical. Engagement in prosocial behavior is one way to buffer against such negative mental health outcomes.Objectives: The objective of this scoping review was to determine what is known from the literature regarding the use of prosocial behavior interventions for undergraduate students' mental health and well-being.Methods: Five databases were searched (i.e., MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, CINAHL) and articles were screened independently and simultaneously by 2 researchers. Seven articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review.Results: Three main themes and two subthemes were identified: (1) Types of Prosocial Behaviors Employed; (2) Recipients of Prosocial Behavior; and (3) Study Design and Intervention Impact (subthemes: Intervention Design and The Impact of Prosocial Behavior Interventions on Health Outcomes).Conclusions: The findings underscore prosocial behavior as a potential strategy to promote positive health outcomes in undergraduate students.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065797","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}

Themes, topics, and quotes from interviews were derived through rapid qualitative analysis.Results: Mental health applications were less used and perceived to be less helpful than other mHealth applications. Past mental health app use was best predicted by past use of formal mental health care.Conclusions: Mobile health interventions have significant potential to diversify mental health services for students. Despite limited engagement with these resources, openness to digital interventions among students is quite high. Improving intervention features and increasing problem-recognition to facilitate help-seeking may result in greater uptake.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143046322","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}

Exposure setting was categorized as academic/occupational, household, social/athletics, and multiple settings. Transmission was assessed by record of positive SARS-CoV-2 test among contacts within 14 days after most recent exposure. Results: Compared to exposure in the academic/occupational setting, all other settings had significantly higher odds of secondary SARS-CoV-2 transmission, adjusting for contact vaccination status, index case vaccination status, and contact sex (p-values ≤ 0.05). In the adjusted model, contact sex was found to be significantly associated with SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Conclusion: Among university students, academic/occupational settings had the lowest odds of SARS-CoV-2 transmission given safety measures in place.

Qualitative data were analyzed using an immersion/crystallization approach. Results: Four main themes were identified: (1) Stress resulting from the rigid demands of academic life can exacerbate pain; (2) Lack of communication leaves many students feeling isolated; (3) Frustration at lack of faculty support; and (4) Need for chronic pain to be recognized.

Participants: Students (N = 326) from a large Midwestern university recruited via simple random sampling. Methods: Using a cross-sectional survey from mid-March to April 2021, structural equation modeling assessed intentions across behaviors. Results: Attitudes and perceived self-efficacy were variably associated with intentions. Perceived injunctive norms were linked to intention across all behaviors. Response efficacy was associated only with social distancing intentions. Information seeking was tied to attitudes, perceived injunctive norms, and perceived response efficacy, across all behaviors. Conclusions: Information seeking affected how college students evaluate prevention behaviors, emphasizing the importance of disseminating accessible and accurate health information in this context. The findings also highlight the need for future interventions to tailor to the unique barriers and motivators for different prevention behaviors.","PeriodicalId":14900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American College Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143005808","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}

Results: On average, fourteen life issues were impacted negatively by COVID-19.
