Dissertation Focus
My dissertation focuses on understanding the prevalence of positively screened depression and anxiety among international college students using the Andersen Model of Healthcare Utilization. Leveraging a national data set, I explore how factors such as citizenship status, country of origin, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and perceived social barriers and facilitators to help-seeking impact mental health service utilization in this population. Through my research, I shift the focus upstream and aim to provide insights into the disparities in mental health conditions and the service access among international and domestic students, with the ultimate goal of improving mental health support for all through early outreach and tailored interventions.
