Blog #3: Research Question and 3 Academic Sources

My research question is how is college affecting students' mental health, in particular, the mental health of first-generation students? To follow this question I also wanted to look into why depression and anxiety are at an all-time high and what resources do students have to cope with this.

    It might be useful to look for government reports to see what government officials say about mental health on campus. I came across this one from 2017 but did not see a more recent one from this agency:
