Exploration of Key Health Promoting Behaviors, Campus Support Programs, and Mental Health Outcomes in College Students

College students report suffering from mental health problems at a growing level. Students are also using campus support services at increasing rates. However, the increase does not match the needs of the student population, and many students do not receive the support or treatment that they need. Health Promoting Behaviors have been demonstrated to promote positive mental health and well-being among students. The present study explores the relationships between key HPBs, mental health outcomes, help seeking behavior, and available support services on campus. This study used a three-article research design to answer research questions related to college student mental health, student support services, and HPBs.
