CH&W Surveys That Support Your Well-Being
Healthy Minds Survey
The Healthy Minds Network is one of the nation’s premier research organizations contributing to adolescent and young adult mental health. HMN is dedicated to improving the mental and emotional well-being of young people through innovative, multidisciplinary scholarship. For 15 years, the network has administered the Healthy Minds Study (HMS), an online survey study of students, available for implementation at all types of post-secondary institutions, including U.S. and international four-year colleges and universities as well as community colleges and technical schools.
Using validated measures, HMN’s survey research provides a detailed look at the prevalence of mental health outcomes, and knowledge and attitudes about mental health and service utilization. HMS emphasizes understanding help-seeking behavior, examining stigma, knowledge, and other potential barriers to mental health service utilization.
