Are you a first-year undergraduate student at UBC? You might be eligible to participate in this research!
The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress (DAS) Lab is conducting the Culture, Anxiety, and Depression (CAD) Study to investigate and compare cultural factors that might influence anxiety and depression levels between students studying in Canada over time.
Purpose of the study:
We will examine the prevalence and severity of anxiety and depression symptoms, how mental health symptoms change over time, and what factors might trigger them. Through surveys, we hope to understand the impact of studying abroad on mental health.
