Willo Research Opportunity

About:

This research study is being conducted because the challenges regarding health among college students are multifaceted and can stem from various factors, including academic pressure, perceived lack of time to engage in healthy behaviors, social expectations, financial stress, homesickness, relationship issues, and the overall transition to independent living.

Addressing these issues requires a multifaceted approach involving proactive mental health education, destigmatization of seeking help, improving access to counseling services, implementing stress reduction programs, and fostering a supportive campus environment. Luckily, UC San Diego has many services designed to address these, and other, elements of health. Creating awareness about self-care strategies, encouraging open conversations about health, and ensuring that students are aware of what is available and can access services and events with ease can empower students to prioritize their well-being and seek assistance when needed.

We are inviting you to participate in a research study because you are a student at UC San Diego, and we want to know more about the usability and acceptability of an app that can provide personalized recommendations for activities and resources that will help to maintain and enhance the health of college students.
