The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is providing funding for research on mental health and well-being of students in Germany in the “CAMPUS: Cultivating Mental Health Promotion for University Students” project. The project will develop evidence-based recommendations for universities.
It will analyze risk and resilience factors for mental health issues among students at both the individual and the structural level. Particular attention will be given to students facing challenging situations, such as those approaching the end of their degree or marginalized groups, such as those with care responsibilities or first-generation university students.
Development of Actionable Recommendations
The CAMPUS project adopts a multi-perspective and multi-method approach. In addition to collecting data at various universities, including the University of Bremen, the project team is evaluating secondary data and conducting in-depth qualitative surveys, with a focus on jointly developing actionable recommendations. “To this end, we are working with various stakeholders, including students, the Workplace Health Management Office, the Students’ Union, student initiatives, and health insurance companies,” says project lead Dr. Stefanie Helmer from the Institute of Public Health and Nursing Research (IPP) at the University of Bremen.
The University of Bremen is the project’s lead institution and is collaborating with the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS), Martin Luther University Halle, Charité Universit?tsmedizin Berlin, and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.
