Summary
This study will follow 45,000 university students over three years to understand how financial struggles, housing issues, and loneliness affect their mental health and whether they seek help. Participants will fill out questionnaires about their well-being and life circumstances. The goal is to identify warning signs and barriers to care so that better support can be offered.
