Healio (4/4, Demko) reports, “College students from minority groups demonstrated similar or lower rates of diagnosed psychiatric disorders than white peers,” researchers concluded after analyzing “survey results from more than 67,000 undergraduates at 108 colleges throughout the U.S.” The study did reveal, however, that “Asian/Pacific Islander and multiracial students reported significantly higher rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.” The findings were published online March 27 in Psychiatric Services, a publication of the American Psychiatric Association.
