STUDY PURPOSE
The Healthy Minds Study provides a detailed picture of mental health and related issues in college student populations. Schools typically use their data for some combination of the following purposes: to identify needs and priorities; benchmark against peer institutions; evaluate programs and policies; plan for services and programs; and advocate for resources.
STUDY DESIGN
The Healthy Minds Study is designed to protect the privacy and confidentiality of participants. HMS is approved by the Health Sciences and Behavioral Sciences Institutional Review Board at University of Michigan. To further protect respondent privacy, the study is covered by a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health.
SAMPLINGEach participating school provides the HMS team with a randomly selected sample of currently enrolled students over the age of 18. Large schools typically provide a random sample of 4,000 students, while smaller schools typically provide a sample of all students. Schools with graduate students typically include both undergraduates and graduate students in the sample.
DATA COLLECTIONHMS is a web-based survey. Students are invited and reminded to participate in the survey via emails, which are timed to avoid, if at all possible, the first two weeks of the term, the last week of the term, and any major holidays. The data collection protocol begins with an email invitation, and non-responders are contacted up to three times by email reminders spaced by 2-4 days each. Reminders are only sent to those who have not yet completed the survey. Each communication contains a URL that students use to gain access to the survey.
NON-RESPONSE ANALYSISA potential concern in any survey study is that those who respond to the survey will not be fully representative of the population from which they are drawn. In the HMS, we can be confident that those who are invited to fill out the survey are representative of the full student population because these students are randomly selected from the full list of currently enrolled students. However it is still possible that those who actually complete the survey are different in important ways from those who do not complete the survey. The overall participation rate for the winter 2020 study was 13%. It is important to raise the question of whether the 13% who participated are different in important ways from the 87% who did not participate. We address this issue by constructing non-response weights using administrative data on full student populations. Most of the 38 schools in the winter 2020 HMS were able to provide administrative data about all randomly selected students. The analysis of these administrative data, separated from any identifying information, was approved in the IRB application at Advarra and at each participating school. We used the following variables, when available, to estimate which types of students were more or less likely to respond: gender, race/ethnicity, academic level, and grade point average. We used these variables to estimate the response propensity of each type of student (based on multivariate logistic regressions), and then assigned response propensity weights to each student who completed the survey. The less likely a type of student was to complete the survey, the larger the weight they received in the analysis, such that the weighted estimates are representative of the full student population in terms of the administrative variables available for each institution. Finally, note that these sample weights give equal aggregate weight to each school in the national estimates. An alternative would have been to assign weights in proportion to school size, but we decided that we did not want our overall national estimates to be dominated by schools in our sample with very large enrollments.

ABOUT THIS REPORT
This data report provides descriptive statistics (percentages, mean values, etc.) from the sample of respondents at yourinstitution for a set of key measures. In addition to the key measures highlighted in this report, an appendix is also includedwith descriptive statistics for each survey item (see below).
APPENDIXThe appendix includes values for most measures in the three standard survey modules that are administered on allparticipating campuses: Demographics, Mental Health Status, and Mental Health Services Utilization/Help-Seeking. Foreach measure, the data tables display the following information: the value table for your institution, the 95% confidenceinterval for your institution's value, the value for the national sample, and an indicator if your institution's value issignificantly higher or lower than the national value. All values in the appendix have been weighted to be representative ofthe full student populations to which they refer (see Non-response Analysis). Also note that for some measures,respondents were allowed to check more than one response category (e.g., they might have gone to more than one typeof provider for mental health services), so the percentages sometimes add up to more than 100% across responsecategories. The 95% confidence intervals give a sense of how much uncertainty there is about each estimated value. Thisuncertainty exists because our estimates are based only on a random sample of students, rather than a complete censusof the student population. However, some schools that had less than 4,000 students (the typical requested sample size),provided their entire population. For consistency sake, these schools were not treated any differently than those schoolsthat provided a 4,000 student sample of their full population. Essentially, the confidence interval tells us that there is a95% probability that the true population value is within this particular range. Because both the school-level and nationalvalues are only estimates based on random sampling, we cannot say for certain that your institution's true value is aboveor below the national value. But in cases where we can say that there is a 95% or higher statistical probability that yourinstitution's value is higher or lower than the national value, we indicate this.
EXPLORING YOUR DATA FURTHERThere are two options for exploring your data beyond what is in this report. First, you can use statistical software (e.g.,SPSS, Stata, etc.) to analyze the full data set for your students, which has been provided to your school. Second, you willbe able to log on to a user-friendly website with drop-down menus, at data.healthymindsnetwork.org.

PREVALENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
DEPRESSION SCREENDepression is measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a nine-item instrument based on the symptomsprovided in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders for a major depressive episode in the past twoweeks (Spitzer, Kroenke, & Williams, 1999). Following the standard algorithm for interpreting the PHQ-9, symptom levelsare categorized as severe (score of 15+), moderate (score of 10-14), or mild/minimal (score <10).
18% 19% 37%
Severe depression Moderate depression Any depression
ANXIETY SCREEN
Anxiety is measured using the GAD-7, a seven-item screening tool for screening and severity measuring of generalizedanxiety disorder in the past two weeks (Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams, & Lowe, 2006). Following the standard algorithm forinterpreting the GAD-7, symptom levels are categorized as severe anxiety, moderate anxiety, or neither.

Severe anxiety Moderate anxiety Any anxiety
EATING DISORDER SCREENEating disorders are measured using the written U.S. version of the SCOFF, a five-item screening tool designed to identifysubjects likely to have an eating disorder (Morgan, Reid, & Lacey, 1999).

Positive mental health (psychologicalwell-being) is measured using The FlourishingScale, an eight-item summary measure of therespondent's self-perceived success inimportant areas such as relationships,self-esteem, purpose, and optimism (Diener,Wirtz, Tov, Kim-Prieto, Choi, Oishi, &Biswas-Diener , 2009).
