We are looking for students to participate in our research study, called the "Cross-Canada Release of the Post-Secondary Student Stressors Index (PSSI)". The PSSI is designed to provide a detailed assessment of the sources of post-secondary student stress, with the goal of helping post-secondary institutions across the country better target their student services. With your help, we can achieve our ultimate goal of improving mental health outcomes for students across Canada. We will be conducting 3 surveys over the course of the 2020-2021 academic year. As thanks for your participation, you will have an opportunity to enter into a raffle for a chance to win one of several $25-$50 gift cards at the end of each of these surveys.
If you are interested in participating, you will find more information in the Letter of Information, found here. Please ensure that you read the LOI prior to completing the survey! To access the first survey, follow this link:
