From HMS 2007 Participants
"This survey was painless for us to administer! We were able to add custom questions easily as well. Several students expressed to us how pleased they were that we were looking at mental health issues. Students do not usually send an email about our surveys."

"We decided to participate in the Healthy Minds Study in order to gain a more comprehensive picture of the mental health needs of our whole student body. The data have already been tremendously helpful to us in several ways:
- We utilized the study results in three grant applications
- The data form a key foundation for the development of comprehensive health/mental health strategic planning purposes
- We have begun to present select aspects of the findings to diverse sectors of our campus community, with very favorable responses.
"We are already planning to participate in the Study again to help us analyze trends and gauge the effectiveness of our interventions over time."
