Of course, exams, homework, internships, work-study jobs, social life, life events, family issues, and finances are part of college students\u2019 experience. But, add to that the adjustment to a new academic environment, culture shock during the first year of college, language barriers, prejudice, and living far from the support of family and friends.

However, both Asian American students and Chinese students studying in America are highly diverse across subgroups in rates of socioeconomic, physical health, and mental health challenges.<\/p><p>Though mental health problems affect all students, research has shown that international students have been less likely than domestic students to seek and receive mental health support. A study published in the Journal of American College Health that surveyed more than 550 international graduate students found that only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.3200\/JACH.56.2.109-118?needAccess=true&amp;journalCode=vach20\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">61% of international students<\/a> surveyed were aware of the available mental health support services on their campus, compared with 78.6% of domestic graduate students.

The final report found that, \u201cLifetime prevalence of ideation, plans, and attempts were 32.7%, 17.5%, and 4.3%, respectively. Comparable 12-month estimates were 17.2%, 8.8%, and 1.0%, respectively. More than one-half (53.4%) of lifetime ideators made the transition to a suicide plan, with slightly more than one-fourth (26.8%) of lifetime ideators having a plan in the past 12 months. In addition, 22.1% of lifetime planners made the transition to an attempt, with 5.4% doing so in the past 12 months.

Students are more likely to experience increased emotional distress (i.e. decreased self-esteem, increased depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress), cognitive-affective strategies (i.e. decreased active emotional coping, increased avoidant emotional coping), and social adjustment (i.e. decreased social support from friends).<\/p><p>The following two years generally see improvement for students, though only recovering to pre-college levels in self-esteem and active emotional coping for women and only the latter for men. Women experience worse initial psychological functioning (i.e., more distress and lower self-esteem), though their self-esteem recovers by the end of college. Men exhibit worse friend support and active emotional coping, and a pattern of worsening avoidant emotional coping throughout college.<\/p><p>To compound these issues, sleep disruption fueled by excess caffeine and all-nighters is associated with heightened anxiety.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>Previous studies confirm that select personality traits are a factor in STB. Among various theories of personality, the <a href=\"https:\/\/oce.ovid.com\/article\/00005205-198701000-00010\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">big five-factor model of personality<\/a> has been widely accepted for young people and older adults. This model conceptualizes personality as a hierarchical organization that consists of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness.<\/p><ul><li>Extraversion includes seeking interaction with other people, being energetic and active, and joyfulness.<\/li><li>Agreeableness consists of comfortable and harmonious interpersonal relationships.<\/li><li>Conscientiousness consists of self-discipline and following social rules.<\/li><li>Neuroticism consists of emotional distress, dysphoria, and uncontrolled feelings.<\/li><li>Openness consists of seeking novel stimuli, intellectual exploration, and being imaginative.<\/li><\/ul><p>A present study of 6,000 participants sought to address <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/md-journal\/fulltext\/2020\/04170\/association_between_personality_traits_and.3.aspx\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">which of these five personality traits are significantly related to suicidal ideation<\/a> in college students. The report states, \u201cagreeableness \u2026 was negatively associated with suicidal ideation, whereas high neuroticism &#8230; was positively associated with suicidal ideation among young adults. Openness \u2026 had a positive association, and conscientiousness \u2026 had a negative association with suicidal ideation among the middle-aged group. Neuroticism is the only influencing factor for suicidal attempts among the young adult \u2026 and older \u2026 groups.\u201d In summary, extraversion and agreeableness were negatively associated with suicidal ideation, but neuroticism and openness were positively associated with suicidal ideation among young adults.<\/p><p>The meta-analysis also found alcohol use disorders, mood disorders, mental disorders, personality disorders, and anxiety disorders were predictors of suicide ideation and attempts in nearly all age groups. In fact, more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jedfoundation.org\/suicidal-behavior\/#card=5\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">one in three people<\/a> who die of suicide are found to be under the influence of <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/blog\/substance-abuse-in-college-students\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">alcohol or other substance use<\/a>. Additionally, nicotine use correlates with suicidality among the young adults&#8217; group.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"supporting-the-mental-health-and-well-being-of-at-risk-student-groups\"><\/span>Supporting the mental health and well-being of at-risk student groups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>In response to this research, it is critical for higher education institutions to put a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/blog\/college-suicide-prevention\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">suicide prevention<\/a> plan in place.
