An Argument for More High-Quality Research Focused on Mental Health in the Post-Secondary Context.

We argue that while a substantial proportion of emerging adults are in post-secondary education, there is relatively little consideration of this context within research and policy around youth mental health. The unique challenges young adults face in post-secondary education overlay underlying risk factors experienced by emerging adults. While post-secondary education facilitates social mobility, it also introduces stressors such as academic demands, financial insecurity and social isolation.
