Research Blog#10: Abstract and Bibliography

Abstract

Over the past decades privatization has led to the steady increase of tuition and with it so has the number of reported cases of anxiety among college students. This paper will demonstrate how the privatization of higher education can be directly linked to the mental health crisis among college students due to the financial burden and academic pressure it puts on them. In addition to this I will be looking at how privatization further worsens the problem it has created by preventing and attempt at solving it, how it prevents colleges from meeting the demand for mental health services. I will build this argument by citing various different studies and academic sources that highlight how the privatization and anxiety are connected.

Research Blog #2: Scouting the Territory

My topic idea has not changed and I will still be looking at mental health in higher education. I am still in the process of refining it, so far I've narrowed it down to looking at the degree of awareness on mental health  present in higher education. Basically how much support is dedicated towards it, if there is stigma surrounding it, and whether students are being properly educated on mental health issues. While searching online I have found that the key terms most helpful were mental health and college. I found a lot of scholarly article and research done on students with mental health issues in college and how statistics show that this number has gone up. Issues discussed online mainly revolve on increasing mental health awareness on campuses across America, in fact what I found most surprising is that my actually has a campaign called mtvU that goes to different universities to promote mental health awareness. Articles I have found most useful so far: Eisenberg, Daniel,

1. Eisenberg, Daniel, et al. "Stigma and help seeking for mental health among college students."  Medical Care Research and Review  66.5 (2009): 522-541. - This will help refine my topic because the author discusses how stigma about mental health among college students stands as a barrier for students to seek out help that they need. The author conducts an experiment using a random sampling of students from 13 different universities. The results from this study will help with my topic. 2. Prince, Martin, et al. "No health without mental health."  The lancet  370.9590 (2007): 859-877. - This article looks at the affects of mental health issues among young adults globally. This is important to my topic because it is an issue with far reaching effects and will stress the importance of mental health awareness on a global scale.  3.
