Can money worries trigger depression in students? a study digs deep

NCT ID NCT07719816

First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores how financial insecurity—such as trouble paying for housing, food, or healthcare—affects the mental health of university students and whether it keeps them from seeking help. Researchers will conduct in-depth interviews with 30 students from two French universities who have used a mental health support program. The goal is to understand students' own perspectives on how financial stress relates to depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.
