Trends in self-reported psychological distress among college and university students from 2010 to 2018.

CONCLUSIONS: Both the level and increase in self-reported psychological distress among Norwegian students in higher education are potentially worrying. Several mechanisms may contribute to the observed trend, including changes in response style and actual increase in distress. The relative low response rates in SHoT warrant caution when interpreting and generalising the findings. PMID: 31779729 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
