However, research focused on the transition out of university is lacking. Challenges may be experienced differently among population subgroups. We examined the mental health and support access of university students approaching graduation and differences by various social positions. Survey data were collected from final-year undergraduate students that had registered to graduate at a Canadian university in 2021 and 2022. Chi-square and linear regression models analyzed relationships between sociodemographic characteristics and mental health outcomes. Open-ended questions assessed barriers to accessing support and desired supports. Sexual/gender diverse students reported greater depressive symptoms than cisgender heterosexual students. Students without stressful childhood or current financial situations had lower depression and anxiety scores than their peers that experienced stressful financial situations, respectively. Formal support was more commonly accessed off-campus than on-campus in the past year. Differences in past-year support access were found by gender/sexuality, financial stress, age and race/ethnicity. Availability/scheduling was the most reported barrier to accessing campus-based services. Financial concerns were a common challenge and area for desired support. Implementing developmentally specific mental health support catering to the demands of this life period is necessary.","PeriodicalId":72633,"journal":{"name":"Cogent mental health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135924329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over an academic semester, 234 university students with registered disabilities (75.60% female, Mage = 22.30) were recruited to participate in a three-wave, longitudinal study. The present research utilized a Self-Determination Theory framework to examine how perceiving autonomy support (i.e., listening, providing choices and options) from close others related to psychological need satisfaction (i.e., feelings of autonomy, competence, and relatedness), progress on academic goals, and subjective well-being. Specifically, the results suggest that autonomy support was significantly related to psychological need satisfaction, goal progress, and subjective well-being. Results also suggest the relation of autonomy support to subjective well-being was mediated by psychological need satisfaction and goal progress. The findings have broader implications regarding the academic success and well-being of students with disabilities and aid in understanding how close others can provide meaningful support despite the difficulties encountered. Practical ramifications and directions for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":72633,"journal":{"name":"Cogent mental health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136071804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital technologies to measure and respond to disease states encompass both on- and off-body sensors. Such devices can be used to detect and monitor end-user physiologic or behavioral measurements (<i>i.e. digital biomarkers</i>) that correlate with events of interest, health, or pathology. Recent work has demonstrated the potential of digital biomarkers to be used as a tools in the prevention, risk mitigation, and treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Multiple physiologic adaptations occur over the course of opioid use, and represent potential targets for digital biomarker based monitoring strategies. This review explores the current evidence (and potential) for digital biomarkers monitoring across the spectrum of opioid use. Technologies to detect opioid administration, withdrawal, hyperalgesia and overdose will be reviewed. Driven by empirically derived algorithms, these technologies have important implications for supporting the safe prescribing of opioids, reducing harm in active opioid users, and supporting those in recovery from OUD.</p>","PeriodicalId":72633,"journal":{"name":"Cogent mental health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10399596/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9959329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
