What is the Healthy Minds Study?
The Healthy Minds Study (HMS) is a national online survey assessing students mental health and service utilization on college campuses. The anonymous and confidential information from this survey will be used to help us learn more about what services are currently used, needed or could help improve "supports" for CWRU students.
Who can participate in the study?
All Case Western Reserve University undergraduate, graduate and professional students are encouraged to participate.
When is the survey open?
The survey will be open from September 18 - October 16.
How do I participate?
On September 18, all students will receive an email from Healthy Minds at University of Michigan (UMich) to their case.edu email account with a unique link to participate. The subject of the email will read: Announcing the Healthy Minds Study at Case Western Reserve University.
Why should I participate?
Participating in the study will not only make you eligible for one of the weighted blankets or Amazon gift cards we are raffling off, but it is also an opportunity to make your voice heard! The confidential information provided to faculty and administration from this study reflects students day-to-day experiences on campus, and provides insight into both your struggles and successes. This knowledge will be used to inform policy, practice, and funding for programs and services on campus, thus bettering student life. However, we cannot make these improvements without hearing from all of you. Please participate in the Healthy Minds Study before it closes and make your voice heard!
In addition, all students who participate in the study will be automatically entered into a sweepstakes for 1 of 2 $500 prizes or 1 of 10 $100 prizes. The drawing will be conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the Fall of 2023. Winners will be notified by email and provided with information about how to collect the prize.
I have questions about the survey, who should I contact?
