Prevalence of Psychological Symptoms among Undergraduate Students in an Ethnically Diverse Urban Public College.

Rosenthal, Beth Spenciner; Schreiner, Arleen Cedeno

Journal of American College Health, v49 n1 p12-18 Jul 2000

Surveyed levels of psychological symptoms (anger, anxiety, and depression) among ethnically diverse, urban college students. Students reported a wide range of symptoms similar to those reported by U.S. adults in the 1990s. Women's levels of symptoms were higher then men's. Older students had lower levels of anger and depression. Ethnic groups did not differ in manifestations of psychological symptoms. (SM)
