Dear Research Participant,

The College of Health Sciences Student Support Services invites first-time entry CHS students to participate in a Mental Health Literacy Survey.

The survey seeks to assess students’ familiarity with mental health concepts, their ability to recognise mental health challenges, and their overall attitudes toward mental well-being.

Your participation will contribute valuable insights that will help improve mental health education initiatives and student support services.

Participation in this research is voluntary, and all responses are anonymous.

Gatekeeper permission has been granted by the Registrar and ethical approval has been obtained from the Human and Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee (HSSREC/00009497/2025).

You may access the questionnaire using the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/uraq5kfAsw
